Notes: Table reports monetised benefits of telemedicine across different usage scenarios (5 per cent; 10 per cent; 25 per cent; 50 per cent). Estimated are potential monetised aggregated values of well-being associated with providing access to a primary care provider for individuals that currently report not having access to a primary care provider in their local area. The reported values by scenario are compared against a pre-pandemic baseline scenario of no access to a primary care provider through the increased offering of teleconsultations.
