The British Columbia government has plans in place to cancel hospital surgeries to make room for patients with respiratory illnesses, but it hasn't yet reached that point.
But the province has yet to reach the point of scrapping operations, said Dix Thursday, as he faced Opposition calls for his resignation.
"In my lifetime, I've never seen this level of clear, unavailable resources for anyone, child or adult, to receive health care when they need it in an emergency," she said in an interview. She said she is fortunate to have a family doctor, but often isn't able to get an appointment and urgent care has been inaccessible.
He said postponing non-urgent surgeries is one way to create room at hospitals for patients, especially children, who are fighting flu and other respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19. Christy Hay, the hospital's executive director of clinical operations, says the department is mostly seeing viral illnesses including COVID-19 and increasing cases of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV.
