Council Urges Help for New Doctors


The province needs to make it easier for new doctors to begin practicing
in northern Ontario.

That's the appeal from Kenora City Council.

Councillor Rory McMillan says the Ministry of Health has only one formula
which governs how many doctors are allowed to practice in a given area.

McMillan says some cities in southern Ontario have a glut of doctors wanting
to set up a practice, but that's not the case in the north, so different regulations are needed.
