How soon can you get a GP appointment?
(Preview)
Here in Canberra my partner and I have anything from 1 week to 3 weeks wait for an appointment with our doctors. We'd heard about a doctor shortage in the bush so were very surprised in Katherine NT, when he got an appointment in 2 hours! How long do others have to wait, and where are you?
