Official Opposition Leader Kevin Falcon of the B.C. Liberals called for changes after a report shows that British Columbians had to wait on average 79 minutes — or nearly a full professional soccer match — before seeing a doctor at a walk-in clinic in 2022.
Only residents of Nova Scotia waited longer, at 83 minutes, according to the Walk-in Clinic Wait Time Index produced by tech-company Medimap.
In 2021, British Columbians waited 58 minutes – which was the longest nationally at the time.
