BELLEVILLE – A Hastings County doctor has taken a stand against the 1.3 per cent pay cuts about to be imposed on physicians by the Ontario government.
Starting Oct. 1 Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Long Term Care [2] will implement the cuts, which will lower the pay of doctors and cap the number of patients they can see per year.
Adam Stewart [3] is a family physician at Tri Area Medical Centre [4] in Madoc who has written an open letter [5] to Premier Kathleen Wynne and Health Minister Eric Hoskins to protest the cuts. The letter has been endorsed by several local muncipal councils.
QNet News has spoken to Stewart. More to come.
