Source: Liberal Party of Australia. Media Release
"I am pleased to announce that a re-elected Coalition Government will establish 50 Family Emergency Medical Centres run by local General Practitioners and nurses to provide more family-friendly medical care after-hours. Family Emergency Medical Centres will provide a comprehensive after-hours service offering a more family-friendly alternative to public hospital emergency departments. This is especially important on weekends when sporting injuries occur and at nights when children tend to fall ill. "
