Yep, and it has to start someplace. Unfortunately the razor gang will probably cut back this measure in the next year or so.

Also, it's an incremental $5.5m, meaning it is not evenly split over the 4 years.

As for your request for numbers, there are currently 8'665 Type-1 diabetics under 18 in Australia. Of that 8'665, 16% are currently on pumps.
