Nova Scotia's opposition parties say they are skeptical of the provincial government’s shrinking list of residents waiting for a family doctor.

The NDP and Liberals say they have heard from constituents who were offered primary care and removed from the wait-list, but who have been waiting months for an appointment at a clinic.

Nova Scotia Health says the list of people in need of a doctor or nurse practitioner has dropped to 93,700 as of April 1 .
