The median wait last year in Alberta was 19.2 weeks to see a specialist (after getting a referral from a family doctor) followed by the same amount of time to receive treatment.
This combined 38.4-week wait marked the longest delay for non-emergency care in Alberta since data were first published more than 30 years ago .
