New review released today shows B.C. is not prepared to care for its most vulnerable seniors now or in the future due to a growing shortage of long-term care beds.
The Seniors Advocate urges the Province to act now.

Merci to our Health Ministers for today’s policy discussions about the future of our public health care system. Action on #Pharmacare cannot come quickly enough...I urge all provinces + territories to work with the fed gov’t to get this done. Canadians are counting on you.
Nurse union leaders from across the country joined Canada’s health ministers in Halifax today for a policy discussion with allied health organizations focused on supporting health care workers for the future of public health care.
“This is a critical moment for health care in Canada. Nurses and doctors know this, they see it on the front lines delivering care every day. That’s why organizations representing our country’s health professionals came together to deliver a message to Canada’s health ministers: protect patients, protect health professionals, protect public health care,” said @CFNUPresident Linda Silas.

Here’s my story for @CBCNews about Eby’s cabinet shuffle. Former tech exec Brenda Bailey as finance minister (inheriting a $9b deficit) and long-time health minister Adrian Dix moved to energy, opening the health portfolio for Josie Osborne. #bcpoli
