While I agree with Senator Glynn about the responsibility of GPs, the National Treatment Purchase Fund has issued frightening statistics showing that 164 people are on a waiting list for a colonoscopy as of 19 March. The lady whom I mentioned was lucky enough to be able to afford private care. It is outrageous that 164 people are on a waiting list for a colonoscopy.
