Nova Scotia's primary care waitlist went down by just a few dozen people last month.
There were 91,423 people on the Need a Family Practice Registry as of June 1, according to Nova Scotia Health.
The health authority says 51 people in total were attached to a provider or removed as a result of ongoing validation work that confirmed they have a health-care provider.
Last month, there were 91,474 Nova Scotians on the waitlist.
The percentage of the province's population on the registry is now down to 8.6 per cent.
Nova Scotia Health says it will update the registry again in early July.
