AG says NSHA hasn’t adopted recommendations to reduce wait times

Auditor General Michael Pickup says the Nova Scotia Health Authority hasn’t adopted most recommendations to reduce hip and knee surgery wait times.  His new report says two of seven have been adopted, and the province still has the longest wait times in Canada for those surgeries.  The national goal is to get them done within about six months, but most Nova Scotians could wait two years.
