Shirley Bond, the official opposition critic for health says that while hiring protection services officers is a good step, more drastic action needs to be taken. She noted that the government has to take action quickly so that more problems can be averted, because both health-care workers and patients are at risk if the situation does not improve.

In a survey conducted by the Blu Ivy Group, co-founder Stacy Parker told CKPG that out 359 health-care workers surveyed, 75% of nurses said that they are considering leaving the profession within the next year. What is even more concerning is that the study found that 44% of Canadian healthcare workers agreed that their workplace “feels highly toxic.”

CKPG News also spoke to Victoria Schmid, CEO of Switch BC, who says that yesterday’s announcement will help health-care workers better protect themselves in toxic situations, and that the initial reaction from health-care workers has been positive.

Critics point out that the provincial government and Premier-Designate David Eby have not addressed any additional measures to grapple with the issues facing B.C’s health care system.
