British Columbia Ministry of Health, 2007
In September 2006, the provincial government launched the Conversation on Health, the largest and most wide-ranging public discussion on health and our public health care system ever held in the history of our province. We asked British Columbians to take an active role in the discussion and help shape the future of our public health system. The following summary of input represents all of the views and ideas presented during the year-long process.
