Dismiss Save Normal text size Advertisement The ACT government is probing how Pfizer vaccine doses reserved for specified critical and high-risk workers were provided to ineligible Canberrans after the number of a dedicated vaccine registration hotline was widely distributed at the weekend.

Dr Price fears new walk-in centres will be problematic

RACGP president Karen Price… “There is no clear proof that they save money or reduce the workload on GPs.” EVEN though Canberra GPs have “thrown their support” behind the ACT government’s plans for five new nurse-led walk-in centre, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) fears they could lead to fragmented care. RACGP, the professional body for general practitioners in Australia, is now calling the government and ACT Health to clarify what these walk-in centres will actually look like. The centres, proposed for south Tuggeranong, west Belconnen, the inner south, Molonglo and north Gungahlin in an ACT Labor pre-election commitment, could prove problematic for GPs and patients, RACGP president Dr Karen Price warns.
