A doctors group is recommending a new model for outpatient health-care centres to help tackle the issue of a growing backlog of surgeries and procedures.
A report from the Ontario Medical Association outlines a proposal to create Integrated Ambulatory Centres in the province which would work with local hospitals to preform medical services which would be insured by the province.
The report shows a backlog of more than one million surgeries across Ontario by the end of the last year.
