BC NDP
- Optimize surgical and diagnostic space.
- Add four more MRI machines in the next year.
- Provide the hospital needed staff to perform more surgeries and other procedures.
Maximizing the capacity of existing surgical and diagnostic space: We're developing new strategies to optimize surgical and diagnostic space and teams, so BC can keep pace with the demand for new surgeries and increase the number of MRIs annually - reducing people's wait for care and relief.
Adding four more MRI machines in the next year: We're putting more MRIs in areas of highest remaining demand - Ridge Meadows Hospital (Maple Ridge), Langley Memorial, Vancouver General and St Paul's, with more to come.
Providing the hospital staff needed to perform more surgeries and other procedures: Our training, recruitment, certification, and retention strategies will help make sure BC has the skilled health workforce to deliver care faster.
