Fears of centralized health care within the region and anger over a lack of input and consultation drove discussions at the regional board today about whether or not to provide a $1 million dollar Interior Health funding request.
Up for further discussion was a one-time capital expense request of $1 million by Interior Health for the new urgent primary care centre at 437 Martin St.
The board turned it down at the last meeting, citing dissatisfaction with the provincial health ministry and Interior Health’s handling of the request, as well as a lack of timely information about the project.
