Australian Health Minister Mark Butler has committed to investigating claims that billions of dollars are lost each year due to fraud in the Medicare system.

This comes following a joint report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Nine newspapers, which alleged that some practitioners were swindling Medicare and charging for non-delivered services.
