Introduce a permanent nurse travel locum programme to serve rural, remote, and underserved communities
"Building from the success of pilot projects, a re-elected Liberal Government will also introduce a permanent travel locum program that will benefit all regions of the province. This will help address nursing shortages and improve access to care in rural, remote, and underserved communities." — nlliberals.ca, retrieved 2025-10-02

Create 10 Mobile Primary Care Teams to travel to rural communities and provide in-person care
"That’s why a re-elected Liberal government will introduce 10 new Mobile Primary Care Teams, with the first one starting in central Newfoundland. These Mobile Primary Care Teams will travel to rural communities in the region with the specific goal of providing in-person care to those without a primary care provider. The services and care this team will provide will be the same as you would normally expect to receive from a family physician.
The first team will be made up of a doctor and a registered nurse who will travel on a regular schedule in Cottrell’s Cove/Fortune Harbour, Point Leamington and Leading Tickles for in-person appointments.
This model will be replicated throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, increasing direct, in-person access to primary care for rural and remote residents." — nlliberals.ca, retrieved 2025-10-02
