New Alberta Health Act
New Alberta Health Act
In January 2010, the Minister's Advisory Committee on Health released the report A Foundation for Alberta's Health System, recommending that Alberta establish a single piece of legislation – the Alberta Health Act – to set the overall direction for the province's publicly-funded health system. The Government of Alberta recently engaged in a public consultation process, asking about core components of the proposed Alberta Health Act, and what that Act should do for the publicly-funded health system. As part of this process, PHEN was asked to review and provide feedback on the Report - the submission can be viewed here.
