The POWER Study (Project for an Ontario Women's Health Evidence-based Report) is producing a comprehensive Women's Health Report to serve as an evidence-based tool for policy makers, providers and consumers in their efforts to improve health and reduce health inequities among the women and men of Ontario. The Access to Health Care Services examines Ontarians’ access to health care services and how it differs by sex, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, language, immigration and where one lives. The chapter includes sections on access to primary care, access to care for chronic diseases and access to and wait times for specialty care and home care.
