Quebec family doctors have until Friday to vote on a deal that would see the provincial government back down on several controversial reforms in a new law that changes how physicians are paid.
The tentative deal would scrap performance-related penalties and a colour-coded system to assess patients’ vulnerability, and would provide an additional $435 million in the compensation package for family doctors.
