LEN Fares is not one to back away from a fight. And Mr Fares, a
Warrawong trader, is hopping mad.
He cannot understand the reluctance of the Federal Government to
re-establish a Medicare office in Warrawong.
Mr Fares said Illawarra had two Medicare offices, compared to
five in Newcastle within a 10km radius of the city centre.
"It's a joke that people in our area can't readily access full
Medicare facilities," he said.
Mr Fares has organised a rally outside Westfield Warrawong
tomorrow at 10am to allow residents to voice their concerns. He
said the call for a Medicare office had the support of resident
action groups, neighbourhood committees and Westfield traders.
