What it measures

The share of adults in B.C. who say they have a regular health care provider, such as a family doctor or nurse practitioner.

Why it matters

Having a regular provider makes it easier to get check-ups, prescriptions and referrals. A Victoria-only open figure is not published, so the provincial number is shown.

How we decided “getting worse”

A higher number means more adults have a regular health care provider. 79.9% in 2024 compared with 81.6% in 2023. The rules.

Keep in mind

  • This comes from a Statistics Canada survey, so it is an estimate with a margin of error. Small year-to-year changes may not be meaningful.
  • The figure is for all of B.C. A Victoria or Island Health figure is not available as a yearly open series (see the Methods page).
  • A newer survey year may be listed by Statistics Canada before its value is published; this page shows the latest year with a published value.
