1/4 of hip and knee replacements are not done in the medically-recommended timeframe. And that’s getting worse, not better.
NEW data on surgical wait times shows that Ontario was best in Canada in 2022 for hip & knee replacements (and has been so for most of the past decade). Story from @LaurenPelley, data from @CIHI_ICIS

Premier Doug Ford’s government is making a big mistake in moving more surgeries to for-profit providers, instead of creating new community surgery centres overseen by public hospitals
