"People dump": BC health minister responds to allegations hospital patients left at benches

B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix has responded to allegations patients at Vancouver General Hospital and Royal Jubilee Hospital are being discharged to benches and bus stops.

Vancouver resident Remi Caudron raised concerns about seeing security personnel escorting patients from the Vancouver hospital to a bench across the street dozens of times in recent years.

“It’s being used as a people dump,” Caudron told Global News in a Saturday interview.

Dix said hospitals in the province see 200,000 emergency room visits per month and that he doesn’t believe patients are being dumped outside.
