Patient transport

 Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (12:57): I want to raise the issue also of the Victorian patient transport assistance scheme. I have raised this a number of times. The government have said time and time again they are going to fix the waitlists. They have not done that. The website says that payments will be made five days after approval. That is absolutely hopeless when approval is taking several months. We have got outstanding claims going back to May. Can we get on, get that resourced and get those payments made imminently?
