System Performance and Trends
It is important to make information about the performance and direction
of the surgical care system available to the public. Saskatchewan
tracks many factors and applies a number of different performance
goals. Information is provided here on the following:

performed by the number of weeks waited. A table shows median
waits for each surgical specialty, including and excluding
surgical cases. |
