If you're interested in understanding what access to primary care looks like elsewhere in Canada, take a look at this data from the New Brunswick Health Council - Conseil de la santé du Nouveau-Brunswick. It shows access by a range of demographics, such as region, age, language, education, income, gender, and more.
According to the results of the Primary Care Survey, the percentage of individuals with a primary care provider is decreasing in N.B. over time. However, it remains higher among those aged 65 and over. Information: https://buff.ly/4gxTw5V #AccessToCare #Health65Plus #PrimaryCareNB
