Health committee  That's about right. But of course that doesn't necessarily mean that they are full-time clinicians. There lies the difficulty in terms of really understanding clearly what is a full-time equivalent in this country.

Health committee  I'll begin the answer and hopefully I'm not being asked to solve all that in the next few minutes. We do have an important cohort of baby boomers who are at the end of their professional careers. Interestingly enough I think they remain quite engaged in clinical practice, but pro

Health committee  There's no magic, I don't believe, in terms of explaining what happened. I certainly do agree with what Danielle has described. The funding has helped to create some innovation and I think you refer to this yourself. There's been some incredible pockets of innovation around the c

Health committee  Once again you're asking me to solve this problem—

Health committee  I would suggest alternate payment models that are—

Health committee  It's where you get a payment per year, per patient, that is within your panel. Your responsibility, then, as a practice, not only as a sole family doctor but as a practice is to look after that population.

Health committee  I just gave some examples of family health teams where there have been some improvements. I think in the U.K.... Do you want to speak to that?
