Lots of new houses, but what about doctors?

Re: “Thousands of houses, jobs in proposed $1.2 billion project at Royal Beach in Colwood,” Jan. 25.

The development will create 2,850 new single-family homes. A Colwood population growth to 22,700 by 2028.

Colwood’s only medical walk-in clinic is due to close in April this year due to the desperate shortage of medical doctors.

Just where are all these new people going to obtain their medical care? Have the developers figured that out?

Or perhaps they don’t care.
