The United Conservative Party government is breaking apart Alberta Health Services as part of a major overhaul.
WATCH: Two years after Premier Danielle Smith announced she would fix the provincial health-care system, Albertans are getting a progress update. But some parts of the overhaul won’t happen as quickly as promised. Lisa MacGregor reports.Alberta’s health minister says the province’s new hospital agency will be operational next spring, months later than expected.
Eagle served as leader of Alberta Health Services more than a decade ago but resigned partway through his contract because he thought the agency needed “fresh eyes and fresh energy.”The other agencies arising from the Alberta Health Services breakup centre on primary care, continuing care and mental health and addictions.
