Notes: The sharp decline in 2005–2006 in <strong>Canada</strong> is due to adoption of a more consistent definition of acute care beds. From 1995 to<br />
2005, some provinces reported rated capacity while others reported only beds staffed and in operation; from 2006, only acute care beds<br />
staffed and in operation outside of Quebec, and beds <strong>for</strong> short-term physical care in Quebec, were included (OECD, 2011b).<br />
