As It Happens6:32CEO of Canadian virtual health-care company defends charging for services
As the Liberal government pressures provinces to crack down on doctors charging money for medical services, the CEO of a virtual health-care clinic is defending the practice.
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos sent a letter last week to his provincial and territorial counterparts raising the alarm about doctors charging for medically necessary services, and warning that his government would claw back federal health-care payments if this continues.

Instead, I have created a shopping list where you can find all the healthy ingredients that are difficult to…

British Columbia is spending $3 million to expand a program that partners health-care workers with police in mobile teams to respond to mental health-related calls.
Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said Monday that the program aims to connect people in crisis to the appropriate services in their community, while taking pressure off stretched police resources.
