For items 1-3: All data is preliminary for 2003-2004. Historical and current data may differ from report to report because of changes in data sources, definitions and methodology from year to year. ¹ In British Columbia, the categories under which these facilities are reported in this Health Act report table do not match those normally used in the Ministry. For example, BC does not use the category 'chronic care facilities'. For this table, the BC facilities have been assigned to the Health Act categories as closely as possible. The 'Other' category is Diagnostic and Treatment Centres. The count of facilities in this table may not match counts produced from the Discharge Abstract Database, the MIS reporting system, or the Societies Actbecause each reporting system has different approaches to counting multiple site facilities and categorizing them by function. ² Payments to Health Authorities for the provision of the full range of regionally delivered services are as follows: $4.4 billion in 1999-2000, $5.1 billion in 2000-2001, $5.4 billion in 2001-2002, and $6.1 billion in 2002-2003. Payments to Health Authorities in 2003-2004, (base and one-time payments), was $6.2 billion. ³ Seven of these 11 contracts provide restorative dentistry to children who are clients of the Ministry of Human Resources. The remaining four are surgical contracts for the Fraser Health Authority. ⁴ There are approximately 49 private facilities licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia. These facilities provide mostly non- Canada Health Act services. Under the Medicare Protection Act, they are prohibited from extrabilling for any insured services. The numbers reported here reflect the number of private surgical facilities contracted with health authorities. ⁵ Data from the Provincial Health Services Authority contracts for the clients of the Ministry of Human Resources is 1,465. This figure reflects the number of patients served rather than the number of services provided. Data form the Fraser Health Authority is not available.
