ANDREW LAWTON: Surge in waitlist numbers highlights need for health care reform
SecondStreet.org president Colin Craig joined Andrew Lawton to discuss our latest update on the number of Canadians on medical waitlists.
Over 3.1 million Canadians are confirmed to be waiting for surgery, a diagnostic scan, or to see a specialist. Since many provinces didn’t provide complete data, SecondStreet.org estimates the true total to be closer to 5.1 million Canadians waiting.
These numbers are up since SecondStreet.org began tracking this data in November 2022.
Lawton’s show can be heard on True North.
