Ottawa Now - Ford government hints that Health Care Connect waiting list is shrinking, but do the stats back up those claims?
October 15, 2025
The Ford government says it has reached the halfway mark in clearing the province’s Health Care Connect waiting list. The waitlist is a government program that is designed to help Ontarians without a family doctor, matching people with a physician or nurse practitioner. However, the list doesn’t capture everyone without primary care, largely because you have to sign up. Not all Ontarians do. Regardless, the Ministry of Health insists that the program is working. Is it, and to what extent? Kristy Cameron chats with Dr. Alykhan Abdulla, a Manotick-based family doctor, on today’s Ottawa Now.
