Report on Past Decade Finds Governments' Approach to Healthcare Failing Canadians
The Health Council of Canada releases its latest report, Better health, better care, better value for all, showing that a decade of health care reform in Canada has produced disappointing results for taxpayers patients alike.
The report finds that with some exceptions, changes to healthcare have not kept pace with the evolving needs of Canadians.
- Progress on wait times for key procedures cited in the Health Accords has stalled.
- Primary healthcare services lag behind other countries.
- Home care services do not address long-term needs.
- Prescription drug costs remain beyond the means of many Canadians
