Premier David Eby Wednesday announced expansion Wednesday with Health Minister Dix, MLA Russell
Premier David Eby Wednesday hails the pending expansion of the South Okanagan and Similkameen Primary Care Network as a response to local health care needs, but it is not clear yet when the full-time positions will be in place.
Eby was speaking at Oliver’s South Okanagan General Hospital, where B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix and Roly Russell, MLA for Boundary-Similkameen, joined him. Russell also serves as Parliamentary Secretary for Rural Development. As of March 31, government was funding South Okanagan and Similkameen for just under 42 full-time positions. But neither Dix nor government’s release identified when the new positions would be in place. Black Press Media has reached out to Dix’s ministry for additional information.
Both Eby and Dix framed the expansion of the South Okanagan and Similkameen PNC as part of ongoing efforts to train and attract more health care workers.
