About this Bill
TL;DR
- • Creates a legal framework to improve access to primary care
- • Supports team-based care and community health centres
- • Does not guarantee every Ontarian a primary care provider
- • Funding and timelines not fully specified in the legislation
Establishes a legislative framework to expand access to primary care across Ontario, including provisions to support team-based care models, community health centres, and new accountability mechanisms for measuring progress toward universal primary care attachment.
Critics note the bill sets aspirational goals but does not guarantee that every Ontarian will be attached to a primary care provider, nor does it commit specific funding or firm timelines. Supporters see it as a necessary first step toward systemic reform.
