The Federal Government has allocated $17 million over the next four years to restore GP Access After Hours services across the Hunter.
Operating hours at the Belmont Hospital, John Hunter Hospital, Maitland Hospital, and Toronto Polyclinic clinics will be restored, while a fifth clinic will reopen at the Mater Hospital.
The services will be bulk-billed, and it's hoped access will return to 2020-21 levels when the Mater clinic is fully operational.
