A new monitoring system that has been introduced for salaried family physicians.
Health Minister Ted Flemming says the Salaried Physician Monitoring System will allow salaried family physicians and the regional health authorities to determine whether physicians have room in their practices to take on more patients.
Salaried physicians that have space in their practices will be expected to take patients off the Patient Connect NB registry, the provincially-managed registry for patients without a family doctor.
The province has 441 salaried physicians, 105 of them are family doctors.
