Fed: Labor proposes to fund medical 'super clinics'

KEVIN RUDD says a Labor government will spend 220-million dollars to establish GP super
clinics in local communities.

He says the infrastructure funding will provide a greater range of medical specialists
and services in one centre .. taking pressure off hospitals.

Mr RUDD says the initiative will be particularly valuable in rural and regional communities
.. where there's a shortage of specialist and other services.

The policy is part of Labor's two billion dollar reform plan for national health and
hospitals .. which was announced last week.
