Laboratory Services Act introduced

On Monday, Health Minister Terry Lake introduced Bill 7 – the Laboratory Services Act. This Act aims to strengthen and standardize the delivery of laboratory services in British Columbia over the next several years. We will work with the Ministry of Health and consult with our clinical colleagues across the Lower Mainland as plans develop to further integrate B.C.’s clinical laboratory system. The Ministry of Health press release is available on the Government of BC website.   Bill 7 can be found here.
