New Contract for Ontario Doctors

Includes new working groups to address pressing issues

Following the conclusion of the first phase of the arbitration process between the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC), the award has been rendered by the Board of Arbitration. Along with mandated annual fee increases for doctors, no changes to any Patient Enrollment Models including FHOs, and other provisions, the new contract also sets up working groups to tackle some of the known issues - notably access in primary care, and inappropriate/overused medical services.

Ontarians are struggling to find health care amid the family doctor shortage - including 11K+ in #SarniaLambton.

"What we need to really be thinking about when we are looking at solutions is how we can overall increase the capacity in our primary care system, so that we can make sure every patient is connected to a family physician and is able to get care." https://t.co/kU7HQK4Ljj
