Source: Community Tracking Study household survey, 1999 and 2001.

Note: Estimates of waiting time are based on the person's last reported visit to a physician within the past year. In identifying the visit, survey respondents were asked whether or not the visit was to a hospital emergency department. If not, respondents were asked whether or not they made an appointment for the visit.
