Opposition leaders in Ontario are pressing the Ford government to prioritize investments in healthcare amidst a critical shortage of doctors. With 2.3 million Ontarians lacking a family doctor and numbers expected to double in the next two years, attention is drawn to the administrative burden impeding patient-doctor access.

Family physicians spend up to 19 hours weekly on paperwork, prompting calls for a new plan to alleviate this burden and streamline processes, ultimately ensuring timely healthcare delivery.
