Patients in Perth-Wellington on waiting list for new doctor for nearly a near

Getting a new doctor in Perth-Wellington can take a while.

MPP Randy Pettapiece says there are 927 people in his riding on the Health Care Connect list.

On average those people have been on that list for 309 days.

Pettapiece released those figures, which come from the Minister of Health, in the legislature Monday.

He said it’s nothing new to those that live here:
