| 1. Statistically significantly different from 2003 estimate (p<0.05). | ||||
| Notes: Household population aged 15 and over. Based on population reporting waiting times for these services accessed in the last 12 months. Analysis excludes non-response ("I don't know", "not stated", and "refusal"). E use with caution (Coefficient of variation between 16.6% and 33.3%). F too unreliable to be published (Coefficient of variation greater than 33.3%, suppressed because of extreme sampling variability). |
