Q&A: How long will you have to wait for treatment when health care is free? Nov 3rd 2011, 16:30 Question by GREAT_AMERICAN: How long will you have to wait for treatment when health care is free? Waiting Your Turn: Hospital Waiting Lists in Canada, 15th EditionPublication Date: October 2005 Publication Format: Critical Issues Bulletins Author(s): Nadeem Esmail, Director, Health System Performance Studies, The Fraser Institute Email: nadeeme@fraserinstitute.ca Telephone: (403) 216-7175 ext 222 Dr. Michael Walker, Senior Fellow and President, The Fraser Institute Foundation Email: michaelw@fraserinstitute.ca Telephone: (604) 714-4545 Executive Summary: The Fraser Institute's fifteenth annual waiting list survey found that Canada-wide waiting times for surgical and other therapeutic treatments fell slightly in 2005, making this the first reduction in the total wait for treatment measured in Canada since 1993. Total waiting time between referral from a general practitioner and treatment, averaged across all 12 specialties and 10 provinces surveyed, fell from 17.9 weeks in 2004 back to the 17.7 weeks last seen in 2003. This small nationwide improvement in access reflects waiting time decreases in 5 provinces, while concealing increases in waiting time in Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. Among the provinces, Ontario achieved the shortest total wait in 2005, 16.3 weeks, with Manitoba (16.6 weeks), and Alberta (16.8 weeks) next shortest. Saskatchewan, despite a dramatic 7.8 week reduction in the total wait time, exhibited the longest total wait, 25.5 weeks; the next longest waits were found in New Brunswick (24.5 Weeks) and Newfoundland (22.3 weeks).
