Labs supported VANCOUVER (CP) — The asiociation representing ‘doctors in B.C, says a report released by the Health Sciences Assoclation. on private laboratories grossly . misrepresents the role these laboratories. play in 1 health care, ’. The report, released last week, says these laboratories are inefficient, make excessive profits and divert. funds from ‘public labs. - Compiled by Ron Labonte, a former employee of the ~ Ministry of Health and a freelance health writer, the report was based on interviews with health care professionals and_. a secret 1979 report prepared for the Medical Services Association and the B.C, Medical Association. - It concluded the provincial government is allowing - pathologists with private labs to take as much as $25 million out of the health care system in eXCesS profits. ” “Contrary to the impression created: by the HSA’ report, - private laboratories are not there to siphon off funds from ' publie labs,” said-Dr. Norman Rigby, director of, the B.C, Medical Association. “They provide a Vital service i in their own right and are "an Integral part of the province's health care, delivery . system,"!
