NOMA Wants Better Physician Recruitment

The Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association says the province isn't helping in physician recruitment efforts. Vice-President Dave Canfield says several communities have lined up doctors to practice but stresses they are experiencing long delays in gaining provincial approval. Canfield says the current model is based on population. The Mayor of Kenora points to his community which has a size of 16-thousand people. He notes the true number is 30-thousand.
