NDP MPP Jessica Bell is calling on the Ford government to fund primary care after a family doctor left 1,600 patients in downtown Toronto to join a private medical clinic.
Bell said these patients recently learned that the doctor had quit her family practice, Taddle Creek Family Health, to move to an executive health medical clinic called MD Direct.
“There was no doctor available to take up these patients at Taddle Creek Family Health, so they had to go out on their own.” Bell said.
