Improve access to specialists, tests

Access to lab tests, medical imaging (MRI, CT, ultrasound, PET), specialists and surgeries is hampered due to staff shortages and the lack of a co-ordinated pathway to get to these vital services.

Ontario needs a strategy that ensures everyone has access to a family doctor and specialist care, and it needs to attract new doctors while keeping physicians practising until retirement.
