Wait times in Canada’s health-care system as of the end of 2020 have increased to a point that they are much longer than what physicians would consider clinically “reasonable,” according to a new survey report from the Fraser Institute think tank.
Based on data collected from specialist physicians across 12 specialities and 10 provinces between Jan. 7 and Oct. 1 2020, the report concludes that wait times for required treatment have increased since last year.
