Wait times for brain and spine surgeries in Saskatchewan have soared, leading to increased risks for patients, according to a report by Auditor Tara Clemett. The report also highlights a rise in homelessness among detox clients. The province is urged to review its referral process, increase staffing levels, and improve housing options.
