Health Council C-E-O Stephane Robichaud says it does well in treating people whose lives are on the line but less so when it comes to managing chronic conditions and then there's getting in to see your family doctor.
Robichaud says, "When you look at the ability to have an appointment within 48 hours, we ( New Brunswick) don't compare as well. Because of lengthier times to get an appointment, people end up going to either the emergency room or an after-hours clinic."
Robichaud says some patients are waiting longer for some surgeries including hip fractures and knee replacements.
