Healthcare in B.C. on trial
If long wait times in British Columbia’s healthcare system actually harm your health, can you sue the government? This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir asks criminal defence lawyer Kyla Lee for her verdict in the latest edition of Kyla’s Court. Plus, in March 2024, B.C. became the first province in Canada to establish minimum nurse-to-patient ratios — a policy meant to protect nurses from burnout and create better health outcomes for patients. But are those ratios really being implemented? BC Nurses’ Union President Adriane Gear explains. And first, B.C.’s Ministry of Health says it funds 3,700 treatment beds across the province. But do those numbers actually add up? Conservative Party of BC MLA for Skeena, Claire Rattée, digs into the government’s claims about funding treatment beds after nearly a decade of the province's toxic drug crisis being declared a public health emergency.
