Wait times up a week in Sask: Fraser Institute health report

The Saskatchewan government maintains improvements have been made to surgical wait times even though the Fraser Institute's latest report shows patients waiting up to 26 weeks.

Health Minister Don McMorris insists things have gotten better because in the institute's report three years ago, Saskatchewan was last and now it has moved ahead of four other provinces.

“We are certainly not going to do it overnight but what I will say is that the general public should expect and see a steady reduction of our numbers over the next four years.”
