A new report titled Access all areas: new solutions for GP shortages in rural Australia written by Stephen Duckett and Peter Breadon has just been released by the Grattan Institute. Access All Areas, tells a mixed story about Australians' access to general practitioners (GPs). The report looks at how an investment of around $30 million a year would go a long way to solving Australia's worst shortages. The funds would support a greater role for pharmacists, especially in providing repeat prescriptions and vaccinations, and the introduction of a new health worker, the physician assistant, to expand care in remote areas.
