Grits concerned Tories not moving quickly enough on stop-gap collaborative care initiative
The stop-gap measure to help New Brunswickers without a family doctor is undergoing its final roll-out next week, three months behind schedule.
All told, 39,162 people belong to NB Health Link, however, 7,055 of them are still waiting to be signed in to the clinics. It also says only about one-third of patients with a family doctor have timely access – that is, they can be seen within five days of asking for an appointment. “It’s concerning that we aren’t moving more quickly toward introducing more collaborative-type of practices,” he said. “I know they talked about it in their strategy, but we need to see more New Brunswickers getting access in a quicker manner and moving more quickly to collaborative care.”
Beaulieu said the Fredericton area in particular has been the greatest challenge, where the roll-out of NB Health Link was slow.
