Thanks for the cash, Mr.
Premier! Thanks to Premier David Eby, my modest condo in an older rental-restricted building will be worth another $100,000 now that it can be rented at $2,000 a month or more.
The rent on a two-bedroom strata selling for $500,000 would typically be $2,500 to $3,000, plus utilities. Hardly affordable housing. Federal funding will be helpful; however, more funding alone will not solve the health crisis we are in. Our focus needs to extend beyond building capacity to managing demand.
It is likely that the health crisis due to family physician shortage may linger on much longer unless there is a shift in focus from building capacity to managing demand. More humanocracy and less bureaucracy — simpler connection between frontline and top line — will help find creative solutions for the health crisis and for the challenges that we are likely to confront due to climate change.Requirements matter, not where they went to school Re: “Central licence authority needed for our doctors,” letter, Nov. 17.First, the statement that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. “commonly denies a licence to foreign physicians” is simply false.
Finally, it is not true that regulatory colleges across the country — or even across the globe — have little communication with each other. Our College works very closely with medical regulators in many jurisdictions and we have collaborated, where possible, on streamlining our respective processes and systems.
