The leader of the New Democratic Party of Ontario was in Kingston late last week to talk about her party’s plan to put patients ahead of paper work.
Marit Stiles said she will call on the government to hire more administration staff to handle the paperwork doctors are doing. She says that time could be better used to serve patients.
The leader says giving doctors access to what she called an integrated primary care team, would be equal to adding 2,000 doctors to the system.
The Ontario Medical Association says member doctors spend almost twenty hours a week on paper work at the expense of patient care.
Recently four physicians at the CDK Family Medicine and Walk-In Clinic in Kingston announced they would take on new patients.
Hundreds of people lined up overnight to claim a spot.
