Opposition Liberals call for implementation of Auditor General’s recommendations on surgery wait times

Reaction from the Opposition liberals to this week’s Auditor General’s report on surgical wait times in PEI.  The Liberals say it reveals a disturbing lack of accountability within Health PEI with the absence of documented policies, deviations from best practices, and inconsistent calculations underscoring a systemic failure.  The Liberals say the Report exposes prolonged surgery wait times for Islanders, surpassing national averages – with those requiring cataract, knee, or hip replacement facing unnecessary pain and quality of life challenges due to Health PEI procedural issues.
