I think health care is a provincial jurisdiction anyway.
But what can your professions do to help decrease wait time? We've heard of this collaborative model, and I know that in my own practice, about 30% to 50% of the practice of the average physician that we worked with was musculoskeletal. They didn't like doing it. They referred it to the physiotherapist or the chiropractor and that freed them up to do a lot of other things.
We're talking about better use of professions on the ground. We've heard that naturopathic physicians have said that sometimes there's bias in the system. What do you mean by that? Is it the government? Is it the insurance companies?
I've heard stories about notes for work. People go to the physiotherapist or chiropractor or somebody, but they have to go to the physician for notes for work.
You mentioned therapy requirements. Can you give us solid things as recommendations? Should we work with insurance companies and tell them that they will start taking notes for work for these things from naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, and pharmacists as well. That won't cause this bottleneck to occur. Could you comment on that?
I may be sharing my time with Mrs. McLeod if we can get that answer.
