No matter how hard BC paramedics try to improve response times… to reach you faster… the Liberal government keeps getting in our way.
Through years of under funding and neglect, the British Columbia Ambulance Service (BCAS) has gone from a world leader in pre-hospital emergency care, to a system in peril. Chronic short-staffing is crippling BC’s ambulance service – putting your care at risk.
And now the Liberal government is making things worse.
They are taking 14 more ambulances off Metro Vancouver roads and cutting 36 paramedics – putting more pressure on remaining ambulance crews and making response times worse.
All so they can save 3/100 of 1% of BC’s health budget.
How do the Liberals think those tiny savings are worth the risk to you and your family?
What can you do to help?
These latest cuts are scheduled to take place this summer. But it’s not too late to pressure them into stopping the cuts.
We need your help to do it. All you have to do is visit our letter page – there, you will find a letter that is set to go. You just need to fill in your name, where you live, and who your MLA is… and then hit send.
Let’s put pressure on your local MLA to stop putting your health… even your life… at risk.
