flag Ontario’s push for universal primary care by 2029 is threatened by staff shortages due to low pay.

flag Ontario’s family health teams are warning that the province’s goal of connecting all residents to primary care by 2029 is at risk due to a worsening staffing crisis. flag Despite government investments, pay for nurses, nurse practitioners, and other health workers has not kept pace with inflation or hospital wages, leading many to leave for better-paying roles, especially in rural and northern areas. flag The Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario is urging $430 million over five years to close the wage gap and release $115 million in committed funding, stressing that without stable staffing and fair compensation, access to timely, comprehensive care will remain limited.
