(In addition to these expanded services, 225 more beds are being redistributed from Shaughnessy Hospital to other hospitals in the Lower Mainiand.) The goal is better health care for all British Columbians. HE Lower Mainland’s population is growing, and shifting to the suburbs. Our hospitals and health care services must keep pace with these changes. People have the right to expect the best quality has- pital and health care as close to home as possible. That’s why the provincial government : made the dif- ficult decision to phase out Shaughnessy Hospital because there is now a surplus of hospital capacity in Vancouver and unmet needs in the suburbs. In the coming months, patient care, beds, services and most Shaughnessy staff will be transferred to’ other hospitals in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. This transition process will hap- pen in close consultation: with doctors, nurses and health care workers, Here are a few facts to keep in mind: The Women’s Health Centre will be erninanced and continue to provide its unique services at the Oak Street site. Care that requires highly- specialized technology B will be provided by Vancouver's other major hospitals... There is no list of other hospitals to be closed. The Shaughnessy situation is unique. ‘Hospitals and health cate professionals are the heart of the service Medicare provides British Co!umbians. That won't change. But we must meet our changing health reeds. We must ensure quality health care is available close to home for everyone throughout the Lower Mainland.
