The health minister says he's listening to authorities and front-line workers, even if it's to hear frustration

Many B.C. politicians are preparing this time of year to head out on summer holidays. Then, there is Adrian Dix.

“This summer it’s a focus of mine to get out to places and meet directly with providers who are doing some of the most exceptional work I can imagine, and listen to sometimes their calls for change, and for help, and talk to them about what we can do to make things better,” Dix said in an interview. That has rippled through Cariboo Memorial, where local doctors are supposed to tend to their patients in hospital if they are admitted. The hospital was at risk earlier this year of rejecting people for admission if they didn’t have a family doctor, diverting them hours away to other hospitals. Interior Health has been using outside doctors, while trying desperately to recruit more.
