80583 (2024). Dr Tracey McLellan to the Associate Minister of Health: What steps has she taken, if any, to take account of the importance of enduring relationships and having a single point of contact for primary care for older people, as outlined in Recommendation 9 of the Aged Care Commissioner's March 2024 report?

Hon Casey Costello: I am advised that work is ongoing on the Primary Care Development Programme. This programme is focussing on areas that will strengthen general practice as the key access point for primary care, including investment, funding, ensuring continuity of care, telehealth, and developing the primary healthcare workforce.
