This is the health and welfare commissioner's last report — Quebec Health Minister Gaëtan Barrette is abolishing the office and Salois's position when Salois retires this summer. The report, released today, found that 20 hospitals in Quebec have dramatically reduced their wait times. A report by Quebec's health and welfare commissioner says the province has made some progress in its efforts to create more efficient emergency rooms. After examining the hospitals that have done the best job of reducing wait times, Salois says he has found a "recipe" to build on their success. Health commissioner Robert Salois describes the province's emergency rooms as chronically overcrowded and accuses the authorities of lacking the leadership and will to tackle the problem.
