Press Release: Skoreyko Challenges Foster to Fight for Hospital Beds

June 30 2009
For immediate release:
BC Conservative Dean Skoreyko has challenged Liberal MLA Eric Foster to fight for new hospital beds to be opened immediately at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and to go on the record of asking Health Minister Kevin Falcon to commit to them now.

“Throughout the recent election campaign Foster said how much he looked forward to supporting the residents of this area and this is his first chance to do so. Let him demonstrate that he will honour his promises and not just say what it takes to get elected then disappear” says Skoreyko. “We have had a 14,000 name petition on this issue that the previous Liberal MLA chose to ignore. The last thing we need is another Gordon Campbell ‘Yes’ Man. “

“Minister Falcon says that they don’t have unlimited dollars to put towards health care here in BC but you don’t hear the Liberals say that about the Olympic cost overruns and boondoggles like the Vancouver Convention Center that came in $400 million over budget and with a leaking roof. It should be about priorities and accountability.” Skoreyko concludes.
