Footnotes

Footnote 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 BC Ministry of Health, but facilities have been matched to this report's specifications as closely as possible.
Acute Care includes only acute care inpatient facilities from 2005/06 onward. In previous years this category also included acute care ambulatory facilities and one psychiatric inpatient facility (both now counted under "Other").
Chronic Care includes extended care facilities. The one additional facility in 2005/06 is not a new facility. In the past, statistics for this facility were reported as part of a larger group of facilities, but are now reported separately.
Rehabilitative care includes rehabilitation facilities.
Other includes acute care ambulatory care facilities, diagnostic and treatment centres and one inpatient pyschiatric inpatient facility. The count of facilities in this table may not match counts produced from the Discharge Abstract Database, the MIS reporting system, or the Societies Act because each reporting system has different approaches to counting multiple site facilities and categorizing them by function.

Footnote 2

In British Columbia, regional health authorities are responsible for the delivery of a wide range of health care services including hospital acute care, residential care, home and community care, community mental health care, and public health services, but excluding physican, laboratory and pharmacare services. Financial reporting does not separate expenditures for services provided under the Canada Health Act.
BC Ministry of Health Funding to Health Authorities for the provision of the full range of regionally delivered services are as follows: $4.59 billion in 1999-2000, $5.20 billion in 2000-2001, $5.62 billion in 2001-2002, $6.06 billion in 2002-2003, $6.21 billion in 2003-04, $6.25 billion in 2004-2005, $6.62 billion in 2005-2006, and $7.1 billion in 2006-2007.
