USE OF GENERAL PRACTITIONER SERVICES BY TERRITORIANS
About three out of four people aged 15 years and over in mainly urban areas of the NT had seen a general practitioner (GP) at least once in the 12 months prior to the Patient Experience survey in 2009. Of these almost three out of four received a prescription for medication.
Around one third of households with children under 15 years had at least one child who had seen a GP for urgent medical care. Of these, almost two thirds (63%) reported that the child had seen a GP within four hours of making an appointment.
