We had 34 respondents representing 25 endoscopy centres/hospitals. We included the data from one representative of the duplicated sites. I think we have a nice selection from Ontario in addition to submissions from Montreal and Calgary.

Based on the results of this survey, it still appears there is a wide variation in endoscopy unit policies and utilization rates. Even prior to the third wave the volume of cases was only at 83% of pre-pandemic volumes. During this wave, it has dropped to 46%.
