About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens who reported that their primary care provider does not offer consultations after 5pm on a weekday.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Primary Health Survey and Primary Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who have a family doctor or a nurse practitioner and who consulted with them in the last 12 months. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "no" by the number of respondents who answered "yes, consultations with my family doctor or my nurse practitioner, yes, consultations with another doctor or nurse who works with my family doctor or my nurse practitioner, no or I don’t know" to the question: Does your family doctor or your nurse practitioner offer consultations after 5pm on a weekday?
