Province extends AHS administrator Cowell's contract through 2023 ableg abgov
Cowell was to be paid $360,000 for six months work. Terms of his extension were not released Friday.
NDP health critic David Shepherd, in a statement, said the system remains in “crisis” despite the government’s claims of progress “Danielle Smith promised that under Dr. John Cowell’s leadership the entire health-care system would be fixed in 90 days. It is now 218 days since his appointment and Albertans are still experiencing 15-hour wait times at major hospitals, random obstetric closures, severe staff shortages in rural emergency rooms, ongoing lab service delays and the continued exodus of Alberta doctors and health-care workers to other jurisdictions,” he said.
“Albertans deserve to hear directly from the Health Minister and Dr. Cowell about a real plan to end the crisis in health care and to answer questions about the UCP’s ongoing political interference in the administration of health services,” the NDP’s Shepherd said. It’s the second stint for Cowell as AHS administrator. He previously held the position in 2014 after leaving his position as CEO of the Health Quality Council of Alberta.“We are fortunate to have the best health care workers in the world, and as an organization, we are focused on step-by-step improvement that is already leading to better access to care,” it reads.
