I can give you a few specific or concrete examples, and I will start with Quebec.
Long waits for cataract surgery and hip and knee surgeries have declined very sharply. In Ontario, between November 2004 and April 2007, wait times for hip replacements dropped by 27%, or 94 days, while waits for knee replacements fell 30%, or 133 days. Wait times for cataract surgery decreased 41%, or 128 days.
In Nova Scotia, women aged 50 to 69 are getting mammograms at nearly double the rate they did at the start of the decade.
In Alberta, 90% of patients were receiving cardiac bypass surgery within 11 weeks in November 2007, down from 17 weeks a year earlier.
So those are a few specific examples that I think citizens would relate to.
