Wait Times Data

The wait times provided here are for scheduled tests, treatments and services only.

Nova Scotians can receive health services anywhere across the province.

The wait-time information provided here may help you decide whether you would like to receive services outside your community. The information is provided by hospital or facility within each district health authority.

Our goal is to collect wait-time information for the entire healthcare system. We will continue to share this information as and when it becomes available.

How to Use the Information on this Site
If you are willing to travel outside your community to reduce your wait for needed services, based on information provided here, please discuss this with your doctor. It is important to talk to your physician or specialist before you consider any changes to your treatment or care.
