GP bulk billing rates

Recent media commentary has suggested that the PBO has prepared GP bulk billing statistics that are inconsistent with the Government’s figures.

“This is incorrect” Parliamentary Budget Officer, Phil Bowen said today.

“The statistics provided to a parliamentarian are an unpublished sub-set of the official GP bulk billing statistics.”
