CBC Manitoba: Publicly funded physio assessments fell 85% in Winnipeg after services consolidated in 2017: study
June 7, 2024 —
The number of publicly funded physiotherapy assessments in Winnipeg has plummeted in the years since all outpatient services were consolidated into a single facility, a new study says.
Researchers at the University of Manitoba say in the 23 months before the consolidation in late 2017, there were a total of 18,261 initial outpatient assessments, compared to 6,715 assessments over the 61 months following.
