This means citizens should have more reliable access to approved therapies and services, without additional local barriers.
Key points
Local restrictions on Medicare healthcare access will be removed if they conflict with national guidelines.
Officials will regularly review local decisions to ensure they do not limit access to approved services.
Any inconsistencies will be promptly corrected, aiming for consistent access to benefits nationwide.
