"Recruitment and retention of doctors in Ontario is “not a major concern,” the Ministry of Health suggests in arguments it is making in arbitration with the Ontario Medical Association over physician compensation.

The argument from the province comes as the OMA, which represents Ontario’s doctors, has repeatedly warned that more than two million residents don’t have a family doctor"

    I pretty much stopped going to my family doctor for trivial things because it’s always a half-to-full day affair. I’m going to local walk-in clinics instead.

      I’m pretty sure your walk-in visits are billed to provincial healthcare and get added to the total number of visits.
