John Gormley Live: Sask. Waiting List Deaths on the Rise

SecondStreet.org president Colin Craig spoke with John Gormley about new data that shows the number of Saskatchewan patients who died on a medical waitlist is rising.

The data, obtained from the government through Freedom of Information requests, shows that 343 patients died on a waiting list in the 2021-22 fiscal year.

This is up from 278 surgical waiting list deaths the previous year – a 23% increase.

Gormley’s show can be heard on 980 CJME in Regina and 650 CKOM in Saskatoon.
