Just let the government get involved some more.
And while the governing Liberals promised during the fall federal election campaign to hire 7,500 family doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners over four years, Smart says Canada remains without a human health-resource plan.
“We know there’s a shortage,” she said. “But what we don’t really know is: Where is the biggest need? How many doctors are needed in different locations? How might new ways of delivering team-based primary care impact those numbers? It makes it very challenging to do human health-resource planning when you don’t have the data.”
A cap is put on training and hiring medical professionals (they call it "lack of placements"), nothing is done to keep them (one can get better paid elsewhere), existing professionals are over-tired, under-employed and fired for ideological reasons. Couple that with an older and sicker population and you have the current mess.
(Insert anti-American comment based on arrogance and ignorance here.)
