I'd answer that in two ways. At the particular CHC I have been at, we have not had difficulty attracting physicians, and certainly we have retained our physicians. That's been my direct experience. I think keeping the salary competitive with the other models of primary care delivery has been a challenge for CHCs in recruiting and retention. There's always that need to keep salaries competitive with other models of remuneration. Maybe that answers the question.
So yes, there has been some difficulty in recruiting physicians to community health centres with salaried models, particularly in rural and northern areas in the province of Ontario, which I'm most familiar with.
