Premier Danielle Smith releases details of reforms to AHS.
At the UCP annual general meeting on Saturday, Smith told the cheering crowd to stay tuned in the coming weeks for more on health reforms that will decentralize AHS decision-making and resources.
She said there have already been examples of this process in Alberta with mental health and addiction being a separate ministry. “We’re not going back to the era of individual hospital boards that aren’t in an integrated network, but we are going back to more local control, more zonal control, and then keeping the things that work in the central health region — just keeping them at the central level,” Smith said.‘I didn’t think it would be in my house’: Lung cancer survivor warns of radon risksChaldeans Mensah associate professor of Political Science at MacEwan University said the process will be a tricky task.
“The grass roots of the party is calling for more focus and better outcomes for rural folks. They feel that the centralized model is not meeting their needs. There’s a political agitation here and the government is responding to that, but the reality is any changes have to deliver better outcomes to Albertans in all these areas, otherwise it just becomes a political tool that changes from government to government,” Mensah said.
