It is shocking that the @bcndp is applauding sending BC cancer patients across the border for radiation treatment.

We used to be a leader in cancer care in Canada.

Today’s announcement shows that the system we currently have is failing to meet people’s needs. 1/ #bcpoli

While it is critical people receive the treatment they need.

This initiative to send people for radiation to the United States reinforces what former Premier Horgan said last summer, that the healthcare system is teetering. 2/ #bcpoli

There are serious questions to be asked of the Provincial Health Services Authority.

We see the challenges for people with cancer, the ongoing crisis with paramedics & ambulance services, and more concerns of children not getting surgeries on time at BC Children's Hospital. 3/

This government needs to address our failing system at home - pay our nurses better, crack down on two-tier healthcare, and ensure every community has an accessible community health centre. 4/ #bcpoli

This is just another example of the failure of leadership in healthcare in this province.

People in British Columbia need healthcare in the communities they live in. They need to be connected with their families and support networks. 5/5 #bcpoli
