Don’t worry if you missed the ABC’s story on WA Health’s recently launched Undiagnosed Diseases Program (UDP), which screened on the magazine-style program Australia Wide at the weekend. You can still catch it on the ABC news website (external site) or on ABC iview (external site).
An abridged version of the report (external site) is also available.
