Regional doctors
Mr McCURDY: The Victorian government needs to fix the doctor shortages in our regional communities. Our office is fielding many calls a week from people like Alicia, who has moved to Wangaratta. She has got a young family and realises that the Wangaratta doctors are no longer taking on new patients. The Andrews government has dropped the ball on doctors in the regions, and this crisis must be addressed now.
