General practitioners are warning patients could soon be without access to primary care services, if the Quebec government doesn't reach a deal with its union by the end of May.
WATCH: Quebec family doctors warn that nearly 1 million patients could soon be without access to primary. A deal that gave physicians a bonus for seeing patients without a family doctor is set to expire at the end of May. As Global's Franca Mignacca reports, without a new deal in place, many Quebecers might be left in limbo.
“First of all, the GAP will not disappear,” Health Minister Christian Dubé told reporters at the National Assembly Thursday. “There is no more money in the deal, but the deal is still there.”Dubé explained the province is ready and open to negotiate a new agreement with the FMOQ, but it first wants to determine whether the new system is working for patients.
