"DON'T take our doctors" is the plea from the peak farmer lobby group in NSW.
NSW Farmers Association president Jock Laurie expressed apprehension about suggestions that incentive programs for rural doctors across Australia may be removed from the Federal Budget.
“Rural and regional areas are already under-represented when it comes to medical and health services, and to jeopardise future services would be a travesty,” Mr Laurie said.
“Unfortunately, that is exactly what stands to happen should such medical incentives be lost."
