As we travel BC for part of our summer healthcare tour, we are talking to #healthcare professionals and gathering knowledge about the challenges facing them. 1/ #MentalHealth#bcpoli
This week, we will be sharing some of their stories to raise awareness of the magnitude of the issues within our system and share the solutions we need to combat this #healthcare crisis. 2/ #bcpoli
The solutions to our #healthcare crisis are in front of us, the doctors, nurses and staff who care for us each day know what needs to be done and we need a gov't willing to listen to them. 3/ #bcpoli
The BC Greens will continue our tour, listening and learning from experts and citizens alike to create a map for effective #healthcare reform in BC. 4/ #FamilyDoctor#bcpoli
Mental health care professionals need to be able to go to work in a safe environment with a manageable caseload and British Columbians need high-quality mental health care. 5/ #MentalHealth#healthcare#bcpoli
BC urgently needs to:
📍Create community #healthcare infrastructure
📍Integrate psychologists into MSP
📍Recruit and support nurses and physicians
Today @SoniaFurstenau called on Minister of Health @adriandix to release the Medical Services Commission's report on Telus Health’s private, fee-based #healthcare programs.
Which are accused of allowing queue-jumping, and contributing to a two-tier healthcare system. 1/ #bcpoli
Almost a million British Columbians go without a #familydoctor and the numbers increase as family doctors close their practices and move to for-profit healthcare providers who lock their services behind a paywall. 2/ #bcpoli#healthcare
We must protect our public #healthcare system from the encroachment of for-profit interests.
When @adriandix and the @bcndp were in opposition, they advocated fiercely for this position.
But in gov't we have not seen that same conviction in action. 3/ #bcpoli#familydoctor
