The provincial health authority says 51 Nova Scotians were taken off the Need a Family Practice Registry in May.
As of June 1, Nova Scotia Health says there are still 91,423 people on that list, representing about 8.6 per cent of the population.
The health authority says the 51 removed from the list in May were either attached to a provider or taken off the list as the result of ongoing work to determine if people still on the list have already been attached.
The month prior, April, saw a significant decline in numbers, with more than 2,000 people removed from the registry.
The next update will come in early July.
