If you're interested in understanding what access to primary care looks like elsewhere in Canada, take a look at this data from @NBHealthCouncil. It shows access by a range of demographic information, such as region, language, education, income, age, 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: buff.ly/4gxTw5V #AccessToCare #Health65Plus #PrimaryCareNB
