Find a Doc On-Line

The province is turning to cyberspace to make it easier for Ontario residents to hook up with a family doctor.

Health Care Connect -- which had been a telephone tool to help people find a doctor -- is now available as an online service.

Health Minister David Caplan says the service has fielded about 14-thousand phone calls since February.

Caplan estimates there are still about 800-thousand people in Ontario without access to primary health care.
