Four doctors from the South End Family Practice, located in the Halifax Professional Building on Spring Garden Road seen here in this photo taken on Thursday, March 2, 2023, have announced they are closing their practice. Ryan Taplin - The Chronicle HeraldThe number of Nova Scotians on the need-a-primary-care provider list continues to grow.
“Nova Scotians need help now and should be worried that this government does not have a health-care plan that actually works,” Churchill said. “Despite working with the Nova Scotia physician recruitment team for over a year, they have not secured a replacement physician to take over any of our patients,” Sampson wrote.
The apparent problem is that the four doctors wanted to add another physician to help carry the load of existing clinic patients but the Health Department instead wanted more patients added to the existing clinic roster if another doctor were to be added. “I’ve been connected with that clinic for years and had the same doctor for the last two decades. I don’t think the government knows not only the quantity but the quality these doctors represent. Going onto the wait list makes me very nervous, especially as I’m getting older and have more need to see the doctor.”
“The fact that the government could have prevented the Southend clinic from closing and didn’t is mind boggling,” Leblanc said.“Frontline workers and other health-care professionals are warning that not enough is being done to retain health-care providers, which leaves more families without access to the care they need.”
