Canadian Institute for Health Information says 15 per cent of ER visits could have been managed by primary care.

In B.C. , the figure was 12.2 per cent , a number CIHI project lead Julia de Bella said underestimates the problem because data from the province excluded people who left the ER before getting treatment.

De Bella said the average wait to see a doctor in a B.c. ER was 3.4 hours .
