It depends on how you calculate it. We would say that a family physician should be the most responsible provider for about 1,000 to 1,200 people. That is if this person is doing this solely as their scope of work. Many family physicians also will have certain clinical areas where they spend more of their clinical time. If that happens, then obviously the number of people that the family doctor can look after would be less. It would probably be between 500 to 1,000.
