Opening day will be yet another "Code Purple" day at VJH where admitted patients exceed hospital capacity. Patients will continue to backup in the emergency department for hours and days at a time while they desperately wait for for a stretcher to become available in a hospital hallway, broom closet, or cast room. We, the citizens of the North Okanagan and Shuswap say the status quo is unacceptable.
When the Tower of Care opens, it is slated to open with two empty "shelled-in" acute care floors set aside for completion at an undetermined future date. We say the time to finish these shelled-in floors is now. We, the citizens of the North Okanagan and Shuswap are petitioning our provincial government to end constant overcapacity at VJH and complete the two shelled in floors now.

Perhaps if the NDP hadn't expropriated all the Senior's care facilities in BC, there wouldn't be overcrowding of Senior's in VGH waiting for a place to go.
The normal civic clubs and ethnic goups that build facilities to house Senior's stop their activites when all their facilities were expropriated by the NDP.
Now you have the IHA run senior's facilities with highly paid Union staff and they are deliberately reducing the number of available beds because they don't want to over work their Case Workers.
It is a new world out there now. The Public and the Public sector workers are two different worlds now.
