Wading through Wait Times

From the Health Council of Canada, this report on wait times takes a patient’s perspective to explore the new patient wait time guarantees and to review the country’s progress in reducing wait times for non-emergency care. The report also shines a light on some of Canada’s innovative programs that are working to bring wait times under control.

This report is a look at one of the key public concerns about health care, set in the context of the national commitment to achieve meaningful reductions in wait times in five priority areas – cancer, heart, diagnostic imaging, joint replacements and sight restoration – by March 31, 2007.
