Nova Scotia Health is working on validating the primary care wait-list data before posting new numbers.

The head of the province's health authority said the government won't release updated data until the 160,000 people who were on the wait list in June are contacted to verify whether they still need primary care.

Nova Scotia's NDP are calling on Premier Tim Houston to release statistics on how many people are looking for a family doctor.
