British Columbia’s hospital system is “teetering” and in need of more federal funding, Premier John Horgan said as he addressed recent temporary ward closures at hospitals in rural communities.
Such closures have left residents “perplexed,” Horgan said Monday at a sod-turning ceremony marking the start of the long-awaited upgrade of Burnaby Hospital in Metro Vancouver.
B.C. Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon said Horgan’s health-care comments missed the mark, as he highlighted the New Democrat government’s plan to spend $789 million to tear down and replace the Royal B.C. Museum.
