People across Canada have found it increasingly difficult to access consistent primary care over the last 20 years. This is a major problem and I understand that people across B.C. are frustrated. The challenges we are seeing today are decades in the making and were worsened by funding cuts to health care made by previous governments. But regardless of the causes of our present problem, we are committed to finding solutions.
Along with all my caucus colleagues, I have been meeting with constituents, doctors, nurses and healthcare workers in our communities in an effort to understand their experiences on the ground and to amplify their voices in the legislature. I have encouraged follow-up meetings as well. Recently, I met with several family doctors at an event sponsored by the BC College of Family Physicians and listened to their ideas to strengthen our healthcare system for all.
