Thank you.
The challenge I had in Manitoba—perhaps this doesn't occur in Ontario, and maybe there are different government guidelines—is that sometimes we would have a patient with a psychiatric issue and we'd want to refer them to a psychiatrist as an outpatient. Psychiatrists were generally very reluctant to take on someone as a regular patient if they did not also have a family doctor, because what would happen, then, is that the psychiatrist would be put on the hook, as it were, for all the ongoing medical care for this person. They'd be the only doctor on record for them.
Do you ever have that problem? Are you aware of that problem occurring in Ontario when you're referring someone for psychiatric care who doesn't also have a family doctor?
