Wait times for surgery in Canada at all-time high: study
October 15, 2007
A typical Canadian seeking surgical or other therapeutic treatment had to wait 18.3 weeks in 2007, an all-time high, according to new research published Monday by independent research organization the Fraser Institute.
"Despite government promises and the billions of dollars funnelled into the Canadian health-care system, the average patient waited more than 18 weeks in 2007 between seeing their family doctor and receiving the surgery or treatment they required," said Nadeem Esmail, director of Health System Performance Studies at the Fraser Institute and co-author of the 17th annual edition of Waiting Your Turn: Hospital Waiting Lists in Canada.
The survey measures median waiting times to document the extent to which queues for visits to specialists and for diagnostic and surgical procedures are used to control health-care expenditures.
"It's becoming clearer that Canada's current health-care system cannot meet the needs of Canadians in a timely and efficient manner, unless you consider access to a waiting list timely and efficient," Esmail added.
The 2007 survey found the total median waiting time for patients between referral from a general practitioner and treatment, averaged across all 12 specialties and 10 provinces surveyed, increased to 18.3 weeks from 17.8 weeks observed in 2006. This was primarily due to an increase in the first waiting period, between seeing the general practitioner and attending a consultation with a specialist.
Total waiting times increased in six provinces: Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador. This masked the decreased waiting times in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
Waiting times best in Ontario
Ontario recorded the shortest waiting time overall (the wait between visiting a general practitioner and receiving treatment) at 15.0 weeks, followed by British Columbia (19.0 weeks) and Quebec (19.4 weeks). Saskatchewan (27.2 weeks), New Brunswick (25.2 weeks) and Nova Scotia (24.8 weeks) recorded the longest waits in Canada.
The waiting time between referral by a GP and consultation with a specialist rose to 9.2 weeks from the 8.8 weeks recorded in 2006. The shortest waits for specialist consultations were in Ontario (7.6 weeks), Manitoba (8.2 weeks) and British Columbia (8.8 weeks).
The longest waits for consultation with a specialist were recorded in New Brunswick (14.7 weeks), Newfoundland and Labrador (13.5 weeks) and Prince Edward Island (12.7 weeks).
The waiting time between specialist consultation and treatment — the second stage of waiting — increased to 9.1 weeks from 9.0 weeks in 2006. The shortest specialist-to-treatment waits were found in Ontario (7.3 weeks), Alberta (8.9 weeks) and Quebec (9.4 weeks), while the longest waits were in Saskatchewan (16.5 weeks), Nova Scotia (13.6 weeks) and Manitoba (12.0 weeks).
Among the various specialties, the shortest total waits (between referral by a general practitioner and treatment) occurred in medical oncology (4.2 weeks), radiation oncology (5.7 weeks) and elective cardiovascular surgery (8.4 weeks).
Patients waited longest between a GP referral and orthopedic surgery (38.1 weeks), plastic surgery (34.8 weeks) and neurosurgery (27.2 weeks).
Nova Scotia best for CT scans
As in past years, patients also experienced significant waiting times for various diagnostic technologies across Canada: computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound scans.
The median wait for a CT scan across Canada was 4.8 weeks. British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia had the shortest wait for CT scans (4.0 weeks), while the longest wait occurred in Manitoba (8.0 weeks).
The median wait for an MRI across Canada was 10.1 weeks. Patients in Ontario experienced the shortest wait for an MRI (7.8 weeks), while Newfoundland and Labrador residents waited longest (20.0 weeks).

Layton’s plan will mean thousands more doctors and nurses
Harper’s broken promise on health care leaves millions without family doctor
April 1, 2011
SUDBURY – Today Jack Layton announced his plan to boost the front-line health services available to Canadian families – starting with investments to hire 1200 doctors, and 6,000 nurses.
Layton slammed Stephen Harper’s inaction on health care. “Stephen Harper has failed to deliver on his wait time commitments,” Layton said. “He’s failed to address hospital overcrowding. His only plan is to hire 100 more doctors. That’s one for every 50,000 Canadians going without.”
With critical health care negotiations to take place after the next election, Layton says Canadians need a Prime Minister they can trust on health care.
“When it comes to strengthening health care, I won’t stop until the job’s done.”

林顿抨击了哈博在健康服务方面的无所作为。林顿说：“哈博没有兑现他有关减少病人等待时间的承诺”，“他没有关注医院过于拥挤的现象。他仅有的计划只是增加雇用100个医生。那意味让一名医生去面对五万名缺乏医生的加拿大人。”
面临着大选之后将要进行的有关健康服务的讨论(谈判？)，林顿说加拿大人需要一个在健康服务问题上能够被信任的总理。
“面对完善健康服务问题，不达目的，我决不罢休！”

also where do we get so much money to pay for that
Ask Layton.
But I can say that the money could be from the budget for buying US flights or spending on jails by Harper. I guess.

老闹子，林顿还说要冻结银行利息涅，看，多莫美妙的政策，他一分不出，拿银行的钱来收买群众，等银行都走了，金融停滞了，又哪去找钱啊。
你不能光听他说，还得看他能不能做到不是
我也不否认医疗是个大问题，但你不能把它看作全部啊。就说飞机预算，你不买，可以阿，那你就得发展自己的国防建设了（美国不负担任何防御义务了），哪天俄国人打过来，你不还是鸡飞蛋打，命都没了，还谈什么医疗啊。
买飞机的钱其实就是入伙北美防御体系的门票，还算便宜涅。那钱动不得，其实政府开支那一块不是联系到大家的切身利益，你都拿来搞医疗，别的怎么办？形成惯性了，再多的钱也不够，那时你又能怎么办？
今天晚上的彩票中奖金额很高。买彩票呢，中奖机率很低，这就好比找信誓旦旦的政党政客来解决问题；如果你不买彩票呢，中奖机率为零，这就好比找根本对这个问题不关心的政党政客来解决问题。很多人知道中奖期望不高，但是不妨试试。

林顿是在野党，空头支配可以任意开啊，反正不用对现的。
选民不仅听他们怎么说，还要想想他们说的是否合理，可行。
