JOHN'S, N.L. — Premier Andrew Furey says the Doc Martin model of health care — a country doctor running a solo clinic with total autonomy — will slowly become a thing of the past in this province.
The premier was joined by Health Minister Tom Osborne, Finance Minister Siobhan Coady and Eastern Health’s regional director of primary health care, Melissa Coish. The announcement took place at one such clinic on Pippy Place in St. John’s. Furey said those efforts have already resulted in two much-needed doctors being signed on for the Bonavista area in the past week.
“Family physicians are an integral part of the province’s health-care system. It is important that as we continue our efforts to recruit physicians in our province, that we must retain those who continue to provide valuable care to the residents of Newfoundland and Labrador.”“Significant change takes time and solutions are complex.”
