Considering that there is no advantage to waiting — it saves no money and only delays essential care — the question now for all governments is how we should respond to almost 30 per cent of Canadian children waiting too long for surgery… In just under four years, across 15 academic and nine community hospitals across Canada, the CPSWT Project has measured the wait for surgery for more than 200,000 children. This has allowed us to follow trends, benchmark waits between peer hospitals and learn from each other.
