New data obtained by CTV News shows that the number of Canadians leaving hospital emergency rooms without being seen is even higher than we initially reported earlier this month. CTV News requested updated information for the 2022-2023 year, which was not detailed in the most recent Canadian for Health Information (CIHI) report.
CIHI staff were able to disclose new numbers, that over 1.3 million Canadians left the ER, after registering for care in the 12-month period between April 1, 2022 and March 30, 2023.
This is a 34 per cent increase in the number of Canadians bailing from long ER waits in a single year over the 2021-2022 data, which reported 963,000.
