Poll: Have you faced any barriers when trying to access primary health care?
Your location can affect how much you pay to see a GP. So, someone on the West Coast might pay around $33, while a person in Wellington might pay closer to $70.
โ We want to know: Where do you live, and how much do your GP visits cost?
These prices are influenced by underfunding, subsidy caps, and the pressure they put on wages. Read more about how the GP lottery impacts you in Harriet Laughton's piece in The Post.
