‘Quite remarkable’: B.C. commits close to $1 billion for mental health, addictions
An investment in mental health and addictions treatment is the highlight of B.C.’s three-year health-care spending budget promise, despite only making up a fraction of the $6.4-billion total.
The province says it’s also committed to rolling out a seamless care model that supports people from detox through to aftercare. Adults with serious mental illness, such as depression, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, have few affordable and accessible supports available to them, Morris said, noting that the budget doesn’t bring psychiatric care under the Medical Services Plan as many had called for ahead of Tuesday.Mental health and addictions funding aside, health-care spending in B.C.’s 2023 provincial budget focuses largely on keeping the system afloat.
B.C. estimates close to a quarter of the population will be over the age of 65 by 2031, up from one fifth in 2021.
