Ontario reports 511,000 more residents connected to primary care

Ontario reported on October 26 that its Primary Care Action Plan had connected more than 511,000 additional residents to a family doctor or primary care team and cleared more than 470,000 people from the Health Care Connect waitlist since January 2025. The attachment figure reflects records through May 31, 2026, and gives clinics and health system planners a measure of progress without establishing that the province has achieved its 2029 universal access goal.
