The Williams Lake city council is hoping to meet with the minister of health this fall to discuss the general area’s shortage of doctors.
Local government officials are able to request to have scheduled meetings during the Union of BC Municipalities Convention with various cabinet ministers and during the regular meeting that took place on June 22, Coun. Sheila Boehm asked that a meeting about the doctor shortage with the Minister of Health be added to the list.
And when the September 2021 UBCM convention comes around, city council also wants to alert the Interior Health Authority about its concerns.
Coun. Boehm and Coun. Marnie Brenner told the council that they attended a meeting with the Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice (CIRDFP) and Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes to make them aware their concerns.
