What about folks who are in the community, still don't have a family doctor, and they're on lists, and they're searching? What are we doing to help that situation out?

Well, that's been another big priority for this government.

As you know, health care as a line item is over 40% of our $220 billion budget at $101 billion annually.

And with the help of Dr. Jane Philpott, we've created a primary care action plan across Ontario.
4:37
And this year, we've invested more than $4.1 million to connect more than 11,500 people across the province, or sorry, that's in Ontario, or in Simcoe.
4:52
So I'll say that again, 11,590 people in Simcoe County to primary care.

and through a grant of $2.6 million to connect 6,891 patients in southern Georgian Bay through the Georgian Bay Family Health Team and the South Georgian Bay Community Health Centre, and through another $1.5 million grant to connect 4,699 patients in the Angus area through the Barrie and Area Ontario Health Teams.

How does this money get put out and where does it get focused?
