Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have a more specific number, if you like, but it's around $20,000.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No. I don't have any such number. We track administration costs for health care overall. They're roughly about 2%, but that's largely ministries of health. It doesn't include the administrative costs of organizations, but I don't have a number specifically for what you're looking

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Unfortunately, the way the data comes to us, we're not able to disaggregate it in the ways that you describe. What we are happy to do is to make available any of the data that we have on this issue so that, if someone wanted to do some modelling work around that, it could be done

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Based strictly on averages, it's hard to imagine how 900 people in 35 million could affect our average health care per capita of $6,600.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  What we provide is the estimated and actual costs of health care for Canadians. What we hope and aim to do with that is to make it available so that it can be used for policy-making and system performance, etc. But at the end of the day, it's really important to say these are sim

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The way the data comes to us is often in aggregated amounts, and we're not able to disaggregate it by things other than age groupings and provinces.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's a good point that you make. I think we're saying we're going to spend roughly $242 billion on health system expenditures this year divided by our population. That's the average. There is a range of people within that number who use different health care. We know, for example

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Obviously, there's both the additional services that are provided, and then there is the price of those services. It starts with that. As you see more people, you have more services, there are more costs, and there's also more on the price side. We're seeing, I think, modest gro

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That's absolutely correct.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Starting from that $242 billion that I quoted to get to the roughly $6,600 per person, there is some estimation within the methodology for some small parts of the overall cost, but most of them are coming straight out of provincial budgets.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Actually, I think it's important for me to state that our organization takes no positions on policy. We're here and happy to speak to the data and the information that we produce. Really, our remit on this issue is around the health expenditure numbers and report that I mentioned

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Good evening, Mr. Chair and committee members. On behalf of the Canadian Institute for Health Information, I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to appear before the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. Since 1994, CIHI, the Canadian Institute for Health Infor

Health committee  I think it's critical that we have national data. You have the opportunity through national data to understand the problem in the whole of the country, to compare our situation with that of other countries and other jurisdictions. There are challenges. On the harm side, you have

Health committee  Thank you for your question. We actually have a study coming out in about a month that looks at hospitalizations due to opioids, and one of the things we're seeing in that study is, in fact, that seniors and young people do have a different profile when it comes to the reason fo

Health committee  Sure. In the senior population you do see more of the accidental and unintended opioid poisonings. In younger people, they're more intentional.
