NDP is seeking to get more funding to let nurse practitioners take on an increased role as primary health care providers in Ontario
Ontario opposition health critic France Gélinas wants the Ontario health care system to more fully accept the role of nurse practitioners in dealing with the crisis of not enough primary health care providers in Ontario.
"Will the minister listen to the solutions brought forward by the Nurse Practitioners Association, open positions for nurse practitioners and give Ontarians access to primary care?" she asked. He added that Ontario is also funding the largest expansion of medical school spots in over a decade, adding 1,212 undergraduate and 1,637 postgraduate seats across Ontario. Quinn said 60 per cent of those spots will be dedicated to family medicine.
