by The province says there were 77,526 people on the waiting list for a family doctor or nurse practitioner as of October 1st.
That’s a drop of 6,453 from September 1st.
The Health Authority says that number accounts for people newly added to the Need a Family Practice Registry.
It also accounts for people removed because they were attached to a family doctor or nurse practitioner or people removed because they were found to no longer need a family doctor or nurse practitioner for a variety of reasons.
The percentage of the province’s population on the registry is now 7.3%.
