Hospital wait times are now being uncovered.
Canadians make almost 16 million visits to emergency departments each year, but patients know very little about the wait they may face at their local hospital.
But now they can because the Canadian Institute for Health Information covers 161 hospitals.
At the Dryden Regional Health Centre wait times were recorded at only 2 hours in 2012-2013 compared to the Lake of the Woods District, which had a wait time of 4 hours.
