Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who do not have a family doctor or nurse practitioner and who are not registered with NB Health Link. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "yes" by the number of respondents who answered "yes or no" to the question: Are you currently on a wait list to be registered with a permanent family doctor or nurse practitioner?
