Abstract
Despite ongoing efforts to deliver more timely care to Canadians, patients across Canada continued to wait longer for joint replacements, cancer surgery and diagnostic imaging in 2023 compared with 2019 (the pre-pandemic period). In 2023, the wait time for cataract surgery returned to the pre-pandemic level. For radiation therapy and hip fracture repair, the proportion of patients treated within the benchmark decreased slightly compared to the pre-pandemic period.
