Canadians now have more information about access to mental health services and to home and community care in their province or territory. Today, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) released results for 2 new pan-Canadian indicators:
- Wait Times for Community Mental Health Counselling
- Wait Times for Home Care Services
The data predates the COVID-19 pandemic. While the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on access to mental health services and to home and community care is not yet known, CIHI’s data represents a baseline from which progress can be measured over time.
