B.C.’s Search for Savings in Health Administration Expands to Regional Health Bodies

  • British Columbia expanded a March 31 review of its Provincial Health Services Authority to include five regional health authorities on June 10, 2025, aiming to reduce administrative costs.
  • The government launched the review to consolidate corporate functions, optimize shared services, and reduce duplication, seeking more funds for front-line patient care.
  • Dr. Penny Ballem leads the Provincial Health Services Authority review, while deputy minister Cynthia Johansen heads the expanded regional review, which includes broad staff engagement through summer 2025.
  • Health Minister Josie Osborne stated last week that Ballem is fully justified in cost and that the review is assisting the government in implementing effective measures that are positively benefiting B.C. residents.
  • The review aims to lower B.C.’s corporate services expense ratio below 3.5%, with findings expected by early 2026 to support better resource focus on patient care.
