Ontario On Target for Surgical Wait Times

Ontario has achieved a major milestone in its efforts to reduce wait times. The latest data show provincial wait times for all surgical areas in the province are within target.

The province has recently expanded its wait time reporting to include all adult and paediatric surgical areas. Through the wait times website, Ontarians can now find wait times for procedures in all surgical areas performed at hospitals across the province.

By tracking and reporting the data and making strategic investments, Ontario is giving hospitals the tools they need to improve wait times while providing patients the most transparent and up-to-date information available.

Ontarians now have access to the most comprehensive surgical wait time information in Canada.

Since 2004, Ontario has moved to complete disclosure of all surgical and diagnostic imaging wait times in the province. Previously, Ontario had no public information available on surgical wait times.

Publicly reporting wait times allows Ontarians to find quality health care closer to home and builds on the government's Open Ontario plan to provide more access to health care services while improving accountability for patients.
