RACGP NT Chair Dr Sam Heard said: “There is no substitute for the quality care you get from a GP who knows you and your medical history. Access to high-quality GP care is particularly important in the Territory because we have a higher burden of chronic and complex disease, a harsh climate and living conditions. However, we have the lowest number of GPs per capita."
