Dr. Bonnie Henry, provincial health officer, has issued the following statement on immunizations for the holiday season:

Residents of Delta and surrounding communities have improved access to urgent primary care with the opening of the South Delta After Hours Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC).

The Province is taking action to improve care for young people who suffer from severe, overlapping mental-health and substance-use challenges by providing guidance about how involuntary care can be provided for people younger than 19, when they are unable or unwilling to seek care themselves.

The first steps of a review of the health authorities have been completed, which included reducing administrative costs, and work is underway to improve efficiencies and redirect savings to frontline services.

The Province is completing the transition to new witnessed dosing requirements to address the diversion of prescribed alternatives, while maintaining access to the program for people who need it.

The Province is taking significant steps to ensure seniors and people with complex health needs in publicly funded care homes, and the workers who care for them, continue to have the support they need, regardless of where they live or work.

The Province is introducing proposed amendments to the Mental Health Act to strengthen and protect mental-health care in B.C. and improve supports for people who suffer from severe, overlapping mental-health and substance-use challenges.
