Fixing family medicine will be the single most important priority of an Ontario Liberal government
BRAMPTON, ON—Bonnie Crombie, Leader of Ontario’s Liberals, today announced her comprehensive plan to guarantee every person in Ontario has a family doctor close to home by the end of her first term as Premier.
The Liberals’ plan to deliver A Family Doctor For You would:
- Educate, attract and retain thousands of new domestic and internationally trained family doctors.
- Improve the Ontario Health Team network, using it to massively expand access to family doctors practicing in teams close to your home within four years.
- Modernize family medicine, put an end to fax machines once and for all, and make appointments available on evenings and weekends.
- Stop penalizing patients and doctors if they seek care at walk-in clinics.
“You can’t find a family doctor. Wait times have exploded. And hospitals are actually shutting their doors to people who need help,” said Bonnie Crombie, Leader of Ontario’s Liberals. “Doug Ford has deliberately destroyed our health care system, and you and your family are paying the price.”
“You deserve to have a trusted relationship with your doctor who is available and invested in the best interest of your health – no matter your age, health conditions, or where you live.”
