Question - Health

(1) Will the Government consider adding rheumatology modules to nurse training in the ACT to help address demand for conditions like scleroderma, in light of its recent commitment to providing a dedicated nurse with training in Parkinson's disease.

(2) Has the Government assessed a nurse-led model of care for rheumatology, given that, according to Scleroderma Australia, there is currently a nationwide shortage of specialists in rheumatology, estimated to be just over half of demand.
