Health Minister George Smitherman says there is no need for an independent investigation into the deaths of hundreds of patients in Ontario hospitals from C. difficile bacteria.

The Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats insist a provincewide inquiry is needed into the deaths of 260 patients from C. difficile at seven Ontario hospitals.

Patients scheduled for bypass surgery at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute had to wait an average of 70 days between January and March 2008, skyrocketing from the previous quarter's average wait of 44 days.

According to a report that will be presented Wednesday to the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), wait times for cardiac bypass and cancer surgeries continue to climb.
