The hope is a new four year agreement between the New Brunswick Medical Society and the provincial government will enhance access to primary healthcare.
A new collaborative model called Family Medicine New Brunswick is being tried.
Fee for service and salaries for doctors will go up by one per cent a year over four years retroactive to April of last year.
What doctors earn has been published by the provincial Health Department for the first time. Dr. Stewart MacMillan, a radiologist in Miramichi, topped the list at over $1.5 million.
