Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know the Member in his statement referenced a knee replacement that took a number of years to accomplish. I don't think that we track those wait times for those major joint surgeries, and I know the time is variable. You can put yourself on a waitlist and get within a few months, or you can end up waiting years. I don't know how hard it is to track that kind of information so that's something I would have to take back to the department and inquire about.
There is some information online which I want to bring to the Member's attention.
- Home care wait times are available at yourhealthsystem.ca.
- The community counseling wait times are on the same website.
- Long-term care times are in the Department of Health and Social Services annual report.
- Wait times for colonoscopies were in the most recent business plan.
- And we are trying to develop a methodology for reporting on rehab services, and this is a commitment in the four-year business plan, which we dealt with last year.
Thank you.
