NDP health critic Adrian Dix said the cuts outlined in a fact sheet presented at the health authority's board meeting Thursday confirm leaked material he revealed last month.
Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe said nothing in the document is new.
"There's nothing in it that was a new announcement, so everything related to budget initiatives, cuts in services that are underway to save money, has previously been announced," he said.
But Dix called the comment "manifestly untrue." He said Fraser Health CEO Dr. Nigel Murray previously dismissed the leaked material as planning documents.
"Essentially today they confirmed almost everything I said two weeks ago," Dix said. "They seemed to deny it at the time but it's coming now."
Murray's progress report to the health authority's board Thursday "reviewed strategies and initiatives to increase investment into health care while addressing a projected budget pressure of $130 (million) to $160 million compared to its total revenues of $2.4 billion in 2009/10," the authority's web site said.
The fact sheet says $119.8 million in "budget pressures" -- 75 per cent -- will be managed in ways that will have little or no impact on core services to the public.
The fact sheet calls for operating room capacity for elective surgeries to be reduced 10 to 15 per cent for the rest of the fiscal year, in addition to slowdowns and during the Winter Olympics in February and March.
Dix said that translates to between 6,300 and 9,600 surgeries.
"We have to fight this now," he said. "When you're talking about this level of cuts of operating rooms, you're not just damaging and creating longer wait times now and leaving people to suffer more."
"The layoffs will take away their capacity to address surgeries well into the future."
Among other things, Fraser Health is ending contracts with two dozen agencies supplying services for mental health clients and seniors.
It is also holding the number of magnetic-resonance imaging scans to last year's volumes, including two new MRIs at Burnaby and Peace Arch hospitals, purchased in part with publicly raised funds.
"All that community fundraising will yield not a single new MRI," said Dix.
Murray said Fraser Health is also studying ways to "reconfigure" the emergency department at Mission Memorial Hospital, in Fraser Valley. Dix contends it's code for scaling down the ER.
"There was a commitment made today to keep the Mission emergency department open," said Thorpe.
"There is an ongoing review and consultation process that the health authority's committed to report back on by September, to look at different ways of configuring services."
The NDP have alleged the Liberal government knew before last May's provincial election that the province's health authorities were facing deep cuts to cope with budget deficits.
Dix claims administrators were told not to complete their budgets until after the election, which saw the Liberals elected to a third term.
Health Minister Kevin Falcon, who succeeded George Abbott in the portfolio after the election, was on his honeymoon and unavailable to comment.
