Inter-Regional Access to Specialized Health and Social Services for English-speakers from Eastern Quebec

Title
Inter-Regional Access to Specialized Health and Social Services for English-speakers from Eastern Quebec
Abstract
This project was developed to better understand the experience and needs of English speakers from the eastern regions of Quebec (Gaspésie - Îles-de-la-Madeleine, the North Shore, including the Lower North Shore, and the Lower Saint-Lawrence) as concerns extra-regional health and social services. The specific challenges facing this official language minority community were known only anecdotally, but needed to be better understood before effective action could be taken to address the needs of this population.
