Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who made a campaign promise to overhaul the Province’s health authority, has said more money will be directed to the system
has said more money will be directed toward the Health Department. She made overhauling AHS a key campaign promise when running for leader of the United Conservative Party and the future of health care will be a key point of contention in Alberta’s next election, scheduled for May. But while Monday’s report shows early signs of improvement, the government has yet to expand on its vision of the health care system.
The administrator’s 16-page report outlined improvements to front-line staffing, patient flow, and ambulance, ER and surgery wait times between November, 2022, and January, in addition to continuing actions. It did not provide comparable year-over-year numbers. Meanwhile, Alberta and the federal government announced an agreement in principle on health care funding. The four Atlantic provinces, Manitoba and Ontario had previously announced bilateral deals, after Canada’s premiers earlier this month accepted Ottawa’s offer to increase health care spending byOttawa will spend $24.18-billion over 10 years to fund Alberta’s health care, the federal government said in a statement. This includes $2.
The Premier, who like her provincial counterparts said Ottawa’s financial offer falls far short of their collective request, said Monday’s funding is a productive first step.
