"After a brief consultation period, the Conservative Party of BC will:

1. Implement the Patients First Wait Time Guarantee for select diagnostics and surgical procedures.

If diagnostic or medical procedures exceed medically recommended wait times, patients would be able to access care at a pre-approved facility out-of-province and be re-imbursed according to a set fee schedule. A similar policy (Cross Border Directive) has been helping patients across the European Union since 2013."

"The Conservative Party of BC will:

1. Pay for patients in the public system to receive quality health care services in non-governmental clinics for specific priority procedures and diagnostic services.

We will get people off waiting lists and into operating rooms and diagnostic clinics for services like MRIs and priority surgeries. It makes no sense for non-government health facilities to sit idle when they could be contracted to help BC patients right now."

"Centralize referrals for surgeries and team-based models of non-surgical and pre-surgical care by introducing a single-entry model, reducing wait times and supporting patients more effectively." — BC Greens 2024 Platform, retrieved 2024-10-09
