Can I make one comment?
I do believe that our colleges and other institutions are part of the solution to the issue you raise, in that if we coordinate our work around practising in scope and getting the right health provider in the right place, we don't need the highly educated health professionals to be doing all the functions. We need to have the right number at the right level, and it's at the community college level that we get a lot of our rehab assistants for occupational therapy, physical therapy, med lab, rad tech, etc. If we can focus on coordinating that activity.... We've done a fair bit on the university-educated health professionals, but not nearly as much in a coordinated way on the ground with our community colleges. If we get the right people trained to standards, get the right competency base, and have them do the things we need them to do, it takes the pressure off physicians and nurses and allows them to do other things.
