Alberta's surgery wait times could be longer over summer
Huffington Post
A health official says Alberta patients may have to wait longer for surgeries over the summer as the province works to make the system more efficient.

Eagle says the summer is a slower period for surgeries, although no one wants to see any move that would drastically increase wait times.
