“Whether it was visitor restrictions in long-term care, surgical delays, COVID-19 measures, quality of care or access to services, clearly health care is top of mind for the public,” Ombudsperson Jay Chalke said Tuesday
Complaints about health care in B.C. — everything from COVID-19 measures to surgical delays — are at the highest level they’ve been in a decade, says the annual report by the province’s ombudsperson released Tuesday.
The office received 5,982 complaints and 2,233 enquiries overall last year regarding a range of public bodies, with 1,246 cases or 16 per cent assigned to teams of investigators. Investigations into the Health Ministry or health authorities by the Office of the Ombudsperson in the last year resulted in:
• The case of an unvaccinated man told by Island Health he couldn’t visit hospital after his spouse was admitted following a stroke that was expected to prove fatal was reassessed after the ombudsperson’s office contacted the health authority and examined exemptions available to unvaccinated people in certain circumstances, including end-of-life visits. The health authority arranged for the man to visit his spouse.
