4BC Breakfast with Peter Fegan

'I cannot be clearer': Coalition dismisses claims it will scrap existing urgent care clinics

Labor members Pat Conroy and Murray Watt ramped up their attacks on the Coalition over the weekend.

While a Labor-funded website titled "He cuts, you pay" and an official Australian Labor Party advertisement posted to social media stated the opposition would close down urgent care clinics.

Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie told Luke Bradnam on 4BC Breakfast, "Another day, another Labor scare campaign."

"That is absolutely categorically not the case."

"We are absolutely committed to funding all existing urgent care clinics," Senator McKenzie commented.

"They're filling a major gap in the healthcare provision of Australians and we're actually announcing new ones."

"We've already announced an urgent care clinic in Cairns and in Carindale in Queensland and that's going to continue," Mrs McKenzie said.
