Doctors Affected By Minor Injury Cap

A family physician in Saint John weighing in on how the 2500 dollar minor injury cap on auto insurance affects doctors. 

Mary Garratt with the province's Medical Society says the abolishment of the cap might mean more forms for doctors, who have seen a decrease in information requests since the it was put in place. 

She says whatever the new system is, paperwork should be streamlined to give doctors more time to care for their patients.

Garratt also suggesting the province consult the medical society when changing the definition of what constitutes a minor injury, to see if the definition is practical.
