British Columbians have lowest health care approval rating

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – When it comes to the family doctor, or seeing a specialist, satisfaction is very high in BC.  But the overall approval rating for health care is one of the lowest in the entire country.

Mario Canseco with Angus Reid just released a survey on patient satisfaction.  “There was a little bit of a drop when it comes to two issues that we have to deal with sometimes.  Hospital stays, which is down to 78-80 per cent in BC.  And emergency rooms which is down to 67 per cent in BC, but 67 per cent is the highest in the country.”

Only 35 per cent of those surveyed here gave the health care system an overall ‘good’ rating, only Quebec scores lower.  But approval rates are among the highest in the country for individual categories like GPs and specialists.
