Summary:
Speaking notes for Caryn Duncan of the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC), for a speech given at Langara College on November 3, 2005. The speech, called "Impacting Women: Provincial Government Cuts to Health Care" imposes a gender-based analysis upon the BC health care system, the funding cuts to programs and services, the funding cuts to BC women's centres, and the disproportionate affect this has on women in BC.
