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. Saskatchewan plans to address these issues by hiring more mental health staff, increasing detox beds, and expanding hospital and long-term care spaces. The faulty payroll system for healthcare staff is also a concern, with projected costs soaring to $240 million.
