Doctor recruitment, retention and optimism

The crisis in health care came to a head this week with the cancellation of some surgeries in Nova Scotia. It's being blamed on a high number of emergency visits and admissions, combined with staffing pressures. The service reductions come amid nursing and ambulance shortages and tens of thousands of Nova Scotians without a family doctor. The Houston government was elected on a campaign to fix health care, and have created the Office of Health Care Professionals Recruitment. They've also announced a consultative tour to speak directly with the front line health care workers. And this Doctor Heather Johnson, President of Doctors Nova Scotia expressing some optimism and hope for the future of health care.
