NDP Leader Rachel Notley says if her party forms government after the spring election, its goal would be for a million or more Albertans to be able to see their family doctor within a day or two near where they live.
Notley says the government would create family health teams, which include a doctor working alongside related specialists such as mental-health therapists, dietitians, physiotherapists, licensed practical nurses and midwives.
Both the NDP and the United Conservative Party government are working on ways to end family physician shortages, particularly outside major urban centres, which are causing domino effects of jammed hospital emergency wards. “This means less waiting, less running around to referrals and less repeating of your story to one new person after another.”
