$440 million for better screening, higher pay for oncologists and expanded care and is part of province’s 10-year plan.
Two health statistics were released by the B.C. government last week, and they were somewhat startling.
The two statistics helped lay the foundation for the government’s announcement that $440 million would be the initial investment in a 10-year cancer “action plan.” Part of the new funding will make B.C. oncologists the highest paid in the country, getting a $62,000 raise for an annual salary of $472,000 .
There is no question the new funding will help, though. About $270 million will be spent over three years for better screening for cervical, lung and hereditary cancers as well as expanded care hours.
