Thyroid Cancer Surgery Wait Times - Manitoba (accessed Feb 2011*)
| Head and Neck Cancer Surgery Wait Times (Median1) | ||||
| Priority 1: | Priority 2: | Priority 3: | All Priority Levels Combined | |
| Urgent | Semi-urgent | Elective | ||
| < 6 weeks to surgery | < 12 weeks to surgery | < 24 weeks to surgery | ||
| 3 | 9 | 15 | 5 | |
| Data for December 2010 | ||||
| 1 Median wait time: The point at which half the patients have had their treatment, and the other half are still waiting. For example, if a median wait time is 4 weeks, this means that half of the patients waited less than 4 weeks, and half waited more than 4 weeks. The median is another way of reflecting what a "typical" patient might have experienced in that time period. Unlike the average, the median is not generally influenced by one or two very unusual cases (long or short), and is therefore more stable over time. | ||||
