One in five Canadians say they do not have a family doctor and face health-care challenges as a result, according to a recent survey.
The survey, conducted by Angus Reid in collaboration with the Canadian Cancer Society was released on Nov. 28.
The survey also found that many Canadians who do have a family doctor report it is difficult to get an appointment, waiting at least a week or more to be seen. Survey authors say that is because doctors are taking on too much.
