BC Care Providers Association allege Isobel MacKenzie collaborated closely with the Hospital Employees’ Union leadership in producing a report on the transfer of patiens from care homes to hospitals
The BC Care Providers Association is calling for the resignation of the province’s seniors’ advocate, alleging her relationship with the Hospital Employees’ Union leadership has been too “cozy.”
The report, called “From Residential Care to Hospital: An Emerging Pattern,” was released in August and followed complaints from emergency room clinicians that some care homes were sending residents to the emergency department unnecessarily. “We have tried to work with the seniors’ advocate over the years with mixed results,” it says in a statement.
