Ford government has no immediate plans to shut down for-profit nurse practitioner clinics in Ontario .

The province has been under pressure from health-care advocates and political opponents to tackle the rise of fee-for-service facilities.

Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones called that a “loophole“ that prevented the province from cracking down.

The Canada Health Act also allowed nurse practitioners to operate in a grey area since the law only included language around physicians and hospital workers.
