Kelowna-Mission Liberal MLA Renee Merrifield has commented on a memo leaked to the media about staffing issues at Kelowna General Hospital91裸聊视频檚 oncology department.

91裸聊视频淣ow here we are, learning the truth about how dire things have become in Kelowna for BC Cancer. I am very supportive and appreciative of the doctors, nurses, and other staff as they91裸聊视频檝e fought to keep their department above water and struggled to get their own PPE in the midst of a pandemic,91裸聊视频� said Merrifield. 91裸聊视频淣ow they are rightly sounding the alarm bell because no one seems to be listening in Victoria and lives are at risk.91裸聊视频�

Merrifield added she has, for years, consistently asked the health minister about funding for a province-wide cancer plan.

91裸聊视频淒espite repeated requests to see this plan from myself and colleagues, the health minister claims he91裸聊视频檚 still working on it,91裸聊视频� added Merrifield. 91裸聊视频淚t appears it91裸聊视频檚 faster to get a $1B museum project done and approved than it is to fund cancer diagnosis and treatment in this province. Time is of the essence to solve this crisis in our oncology department.91裸聊视频�
