Unfortunately, the Association of Ontario Midwives doesn't collect data specifically for regions. What we do have through our managed program with the Ontario Ministry of Health are registrations with the college and funding via transfer payment agencies and registered practices.
In terms of regional considerations, we do know that it's challenging to have midwives set up practices in rural, remote and northern areas. Part of it is the concentration of midwives in urban centres in the southern parts of the province and the facilities and accessibility, quite frankly. It is a driving concern to consciously monitor and maintain the registration and practising of midwives in those areas.
