Health Minister Adrian Dix visited the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital during a Northwest trip on March 26 after a string of emergency room closures that has caused great concern in the city.
“We have to address recruitment issues here. We have to address cultural issues here so that people are working together and we have to make sure that this emergency room is open to people 24/7,” he said. Chief ambulance officer at BC Emergency Health Services Leanne Heppell was also in Prince Rupert after additional paramedic crews were brought to the city amid the emergency room challenges.
“It’s not important today or tomorrow that we’re building a new emergency room, but it is also the kind of tool we need for recruitment. The emergency room has to be better, and that’s why we’re spending 16.5 million on that,” he said.
