Minto council warned of doctor shortage

By Campbell Cork

A report to Minto council warns that all doctors in the municipality now have a full roster and are not taking on any new patients.

The information from the Minto Economic Development Committee suggests this could be a real problem in Minto with its projected influx of new residents in the coming years.

Minto council was informed that one of the problems may be the fact that not enough medical graduates are setting up practices in the rural area.
