The MP for Mallee says a cap of 100 GPs per 100,000 people would curb the oversupply.

The National Party will advocate for controlling the number of GPs in cities through a cap on provider numbers, as a radical fix for the rural health crisis.

Figures show that metropolitan areas have 121 GPs per 100,000 people on average, compared with 65-80 in remote and rural areas.
