Please note: data from January – March 2020 onwards should be viewed with caution as wait times have been directly impacted due to COVID-19.

Wait times above are for surgeries completed from January 2021 to March 2021. Wait times are calculated from the date that the patient and physician agree to the surgery and the patient is ready to receive it to the date of the completion of surgery and are collected through the Surgical Access Registry. These statistics do not include emergency surgeries. Timeframes during which the patient was not available to have surgery are excluded from the wait time calculations.

*For privacy concerns, some data is not shown because of low volumes.

Information in the Surgical Access Registry comes directly from facilities throughout NB. The accuracy of the registry is entirely dependent on the data submitted by the facilities. The Department of Health assumes no liability for the hospital information.
