Federal Health Minister Mark Holland says provincial and territorial health plans will cover primary care provided by nurse practitioners, pharmacists and midwives.

He says the move is needed because some patients are paying out of pocket for medically necessary care.

Holland says charging patients for those services isn’t consistent with universal health care.
