Roughly one million British Columbians don’t have a family doctor and data compiled by a technology company that monitors wait times at family clinics shows they’re spending more time queued up, with one city experiencing an average wait of more than two and half hours.

Medimap tracks waits at more than 1,200 clinics across six provinces. It found in 2021, people in B.C. — on average — waited 58 minutes. That’s more than double the national average of 25 minutes.

Average waits in Victoria were the longest across Canada, at two hours and 41 minutes.
