MSP - Data organised by service date
NO LONGER AVAILABLE THROUGH POPDATA
Population Data BC provides researchers with the MSP payment data organized by the date services are provided, rather than the payment date. We believe data organized by service date will be more useful and relevant to researchers than data organized by the date payment for a service is made.
