Six ways David Eby will get you better care, faster

Every week, 4,000 more people in B.C. are connected to a family doctor or nurse practitioner. David Eby's plan keeps that going and makes it easier to get an appointment when you need one.

1. 1

   An appointment when you need one

   More same-day appointments, plus evening and weekend care, so you can get seen without a trip to the ER.

2. 2

   20 more clinics

   20 more team-based primary care clinics for timely, in-person care that takes pressure off hospitals.

3. 3

   Fast-track doctors already living here

   A first-in-Canada program to get qualified international doctors who already live in B.C. into family practice, instead of driving taxis or working in labs.

4. 4

   A family doctor for more people

   Keep matching British Columbians with a family doctor or nurse practitioner at a record pace.

5. 5

   1,000 more training seats

   More seats to train nurses, nurse practitioners, care aides and other health workers, including 20% more nursing seats.

6. 6

   Help for rural communities

   Discounted tuition, loan forgiveness and moving costs for health workers who go where they're needed most, to fill shortages in rural communities and emergency departments.

Lorne Doerkson's tax plan could blow a $3 billion hole in the budget, and the conservative parties admit health care would "take the brunt" of their cuts. David Eby and the BC NDP will ask those at the top to chip in a bit more.
