An elected Dutton Liberal Government will deliver a Medicare Urgent Care Clinic in the Hawkesbury.
This important commitment to deliver better access to much needed urgent primary healthcare has been secured thanks to the advocacy of Liberal candidate for Macquarie, Mike Creed.
The Coalition will ensure this community is not taken for granted.
Shadow Minister for Communications and Shadow Minister for Western Sydney said that the Liberals were focused on ensuring all Australians have timely and affordable access to a GP.
“We recognise the urgent need for better access to affordable health services in the middle of Labor’s primary healthcare crisis,” Mrs McIntosh said.
“The Liberals will deliver Urgent Care Clinics as they were intended — focused on relieving pressure on local hospitals and providing real access to bulk billed urgent healthcare.”
Liberal Candidate for Macquarie, Mike Creed, said that in the three years under Labor, the GP bulk billing rate has dropped almost 10 per cent in Macquarie.
“Labor has had three years to secure an Urgent Care Clinic for Macquarie, but they have failed to deliver,” Mike Creed said.
The people of the Hawkesbury don’t need more political games—they need access to affordable and quality healthcare.”
“Only a Dutton Liberal Government will ensure Macquarie gets the health infrastructure it desperately needs, easing the pressure on families and local hospitals.”
This commitment is part of the Liberals’ plan to get Australia back on track.
