Nearly 30% of Canadians Report Chronic Difficulty Accessing Health Care

Abstract:

Nearly 30 percent of Canadians report “chronic difficulty” accessing care, according to a new survey conducted by the Angus Reid Institute, which found that an equivalent of nine million people said that it was difficult or impossible to access emergency and non-emergency care, including surgery, diagnostic testing and specialist appointments. These results are revealed as Canada’s healthcare system continues to grapple with staffing shortages, long wait times and emergency room closures.
