Ontario family doctor waitlist reduced by half, health minister says
October 15, 2025
More than 50 per cent of the Ontarians who were on an official waiting list for a family doctor at the start of the year now have a medical provider, according to the provincial government, which has promised to spend $2.1-billion to combat a long-running shortage of reliable primary care.
There were approximately 235,000 people on Ontario’s Health Care Connect list on Jan.1. Half of those patients have since been added to the roster of a family doctor or nurse practitioner, Health Minister Sylvia Jones said in a statement Wednesday.
