THE TODD VEINOTTE SHOW: Died on a Waiting List

SecondStreet.org spoke with Todd Veinotte about our latest Died on a Waiting List report. Since 2019, we’ve been tracking how many Canadians died while waiting for surgery or a diagnostic scan. Unfortunately, the numbers reached a 4-year high in 2021-22.

SecondStreet.org has released its annual Died on a Waiting List report.

We filed Freedom of Information requests with provincial governments to find out how many people died while waiting for a surgery or diagnostic scan.

Unfortunately, the sad trend of more people dying on a waitlist continued this year.
