Four high-priority health-care sites will be safer thanks to collaboration between the Ministry of Health and the BC Nurses’ Union (BCNU).
As part of the ministry’s Violence Prevention Action Plan, the ministry and BCNU will jointly provide $2 million to fund violence prevention actions at sites that deal with some of the province’s most complex patients.
The ministry and the BCNU have each committed $1 million toward safety improvements at facilities that care for complex patients, where there is a higher risk of violence against staff.
