Victoria is paying thousands of dollars in extra costs for B.C. patients to get sex-change surgery at a private clinic in Quebec -- while a specially recruited Vancouver surgeon has been denied operating room time for more than two years.
Despite the cost of sending patients east, the provincial health ministry just shot down a Vancouver Coastal Health proposal to perform the surgeries in Vancouver.
