What is the current off-site sessional rate at each Eyre and Far North Local Health Network (EFNLHN) health services centre, and what conditions are attached to that payment? The Hon. C.J. PICTON House of Assembly Kaurna Minister for Health and Wellbeing Regional Health Services The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised: The current off-site sessional rate under the Rural GP Agreement is $2,386. This is paid to an individual GP or a GP Practice for the provision of medical services for a 24-hour period. This rate applies where agreed between a GP Practice and EFNLHN. The key conditions applied to an off-site sessional rate are: The GP is not required to be on-site at the hospital at all times but must be ready and available to attend the hospital and provide medical services to public patients as a priority. The GP can provide medical services to his/her own private patients at a private GP practice whilst in receipt of the off-site sessional payment. The GP/GP practice is not able to claim any other payment to EFNLHN for providing medical services within the specialty/scope of clinical practice for which that GP is engaged during the off-site sessional roster.
