Doctor waitlist drops by another 2K

The number of Nova Scotians on the Need a Family Practice Registry has dropped again.

Nova Scotia Health says as of April 1, there are 93,682 on the list, 2,193 lower than the number published on March 3.

That makes 95,875 registered.

The decrease in number is due to ongoing validation work that confirms a provider.

The percentage of the population now on the list is 8.8.

The next update will be in early May.
