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 27.4 weeks — the longest ever recorded.
It is up from 25.6 weeks last year, and is a whopping 195% higher than in 1993, when we began tracking wait times.
The survey results indicate that COVID-19 and related hospital closures have exacerbated, but are not the cause, of Canada’s historic wait times challenges.
Find out more, and see the provincial numbers, here. And be sure to help spread the news on social media!
Sincerely,
Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
