Dear John,
Today the Fraser Institute published Waiting Your Turn, our annual survey of physicians across Canada regarding medical treatment wait times.
The study reports a median wait time of 30 weeks — the longest ever recorded.
Longer than the 27.7 weeks reported last year and 222% higher than in 1993, when we began tracking wait times.
COVID-19 and related hospital closures have exacerbated – but are not the cause – of Canada’s historic wait times challenges.
See the provincial numbers here, and be sure to help spread this important news on social media.
Sincerely,
Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
