C2E2's Dr. Margaret McGregor is a co-author of Reducing Surgical Wait Times: The Case for Public Innovation and Provincial Leadership

In 2016, Dr. Margaret McGregor and fellow co-authors Andrew Longhurst and Marcy Cohen published a report "Reducing Surgical Wait Times: The Case for Public Innovation and Provincial Leadership" for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternative’s (CCPA). The report raised concerns about the former B.C. government’s pursuit of changes that would allow more complex surgeries (those requiring up to three-day stays) to be performed in private for-profit surgical clinics.
An article published by the Vancouver Sun "Andrew Longhurst, Marcy Cohen, Dr. Margaret McGregor: Comprehensive action on surgical waiting times good news for B.C." regarding the outcomes of their report can be read here.
