B130 TEN YEAR FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR BC HOSPITAL FACILITIES Vernon
WHEREAS the hospitals in British Columbia are in a state of crisis, and drastic changes are needed to address financial issues related to these facilities; AND WHEREAS, it would be fiscally prudent for British Columbia Hospitals to commit to ten year financial planning:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the provincial government be urged to require British Columbia hospitals to commit to ten year financial planning.
NOT PRESENTED TO THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
UBCM RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Refer to UBCM Executive
UBCM RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE COMMENTS:
The Resolution Committee notes that the UBCM membership has not previously considered a resolution requesting that the Provincial government require BC hospitals to commit to ten year financial planning. In 2003, a Regional Hospital District Cost Sharing Review recommended that “Health Authorities should move towards a 5-year rolling capital plan”. Numerous RHDs were concerned that the Health Authorities did not have funding commitments from the Ministry of Health beyond one year and therefore operated on one year planning timelines. BCM and the Ministry of Health have jointly commissioned a review of the implementation of the recommendations from the 2003 Regional Hospital District Cost Sharing Review. The reported will be issued in Fall 2008. The Resolutions Committee recommends that this resolution be referred to the UBCM Executive Committee as there is no recommendation until the report is available in Fall 2008.
