The number of Nova Scotians on the Need a Family Practice Registry decreased by more than 3,000 people last month. On Oct. 1, there were 49,338 Nova Scotians on the registry. By the beginning of November, that number decreased to 46,204. The percentage of the population on the registry is currently 4.2 per cent. “This number reflects the cumulative result of activity on the registry since its creation, including registrations, attachments to family doctor or nurse practitioner, and other updates to registration status over time,” reads a news release from Nova Scotia Health. The health authority says it will update the registry again in early December. A full report on the latest update is available online. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
