B.C. has the 2nd worst wait times for walk-in clinics across Canada: Survey
Official Opposition Leader Kevin Falcon of the B.C. Liberals called for changes after a report shows that British Columbians had to wait on average 79 minutes — or nearly a full professional soccer match — before seeing a doctor at a walk-in clinic in 2022.
“Yet David Eby has signalled more of the same by keeping on Adrian Dix on as the health minister,” he said. “Nothing they are going to do is going to change that over the next little while.” Medimap’s survey of six provinces found Canadians had to wait on average 37 minutes to see a physician at a walk-in clinic.Four of the top 10 cities for longest wait times in the country were in B.C.: North VancouverFalcon said a government under his leadership would do a “whole suite of things” to improve the system and be measured by their results.
Falcon, who spoke to media before Monday’s Throne Speech, also used the occasion to talk about the upcoming health-care summit Feb. 7 featuring Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and provincial and territorial leaders.
