This week I was a witness to the #HESA committee of Parliament. I was asked- what do family doctors want? It’s not complex- they want to care for patients. ⁦@BCCFP⁩ ⁦@snewbery1⁩ ⁦@BirinderNarang⁩ ⁦⁦@DrRitaMc⁩ ⁦@WaskoDr⁩ @FamPhysCan⁩ ⁦

A crisis indeed. 900,000 without a dr, 1000 more physicians needed now. Another 1200 physicians are retiring over next 10 yrs. Further, 1 in 3 health care workers and 35% nurses plan to quit in next 2 yrs. We desperately need leadership. @jht4x4 @ReneeMerrifiel3

Relocating the museum to @saanich and cashing in on the highest value property in @CityOfVictoria while continuing to run the old museum while new one built makes more sense..

Municipal leaders could attract family docs to their areas with rent subsidies to family doc offices or tax free status similar to churches! My doc closed her office because she couldn’t afford the rent and was being offered more money to work in the hospital! No overhead!
