Concerns Raised Over Doctor Shortages

Concern about doctors in Ontario leaving the province.
PC critic Jeff Yurek says imposed contracts on physicians will drive new graduates away or move them into other fields other than family practice.
Health Minister Eric Hoskins downplays the suggestion, noting the province has seen a 20% increase in the number of family doctors since 2003.
Hoskins admits there is more work that needs to be done to address doctor issues in northern Ontario.
