Mr. Joseph Musgrave:

In Australia the modified Monash model rates areas from urban to rural, with urban being one and the most rural being seven. A top-up payment is given depending on how rural an area is. I do not think we would always be able to eliminate an hour's travel in a rural location but we should be able to limit the amount of travel in urban locations by offering a small supplement to incentivise providers to keep the travel time low and to pay for it properly.
