For most data sources (with the exception of Census and Demographic population estimates), health region level data are not available for some northern health regions in Saskatchewan which have small populations. To avoid suppression in these areas where small numbers or sample size impact on data quality, data have been grouped with neighbouring regions, as follows: Athabasca Health Authority, Saskatchewan (4713) is combined with Mamawetan Churchill River Regional Health Authority (4711) and Keewatin Yatthé Regional Health Authority (4712) and referred to as “Athabasca/Keewatin/Mamawetan” (4714).
