2025 Primary Care Survey

The 2025 Primary Care Survey was conducted in New Brunswick from October 2025 to January 2026. 5,657 New Brunswickers aged 18 and over participated. 

The results and observations were released on June 23, 2026, and are available at the provincial and zone level.

Key Observations from the 2025 Edition

  • 73% of New Brunswickers reported having a primary care provider (PCP), a decline from 2024.
  • Timely access continues to be a concern: since 2022, only 1 in 3 citizens reported being able to get an appointment with their primary care provider within five days.
  • Citizens’ experiences with primary care have not improved over the past three years.
  • Gaps in care remain, with some demographic groups reporting a lower percentage of attachment to and care experience with their primary care provider.
