Premier Danielle Smith says she’s concerned Alberta’s health-care delivery agency is being pulled in too many directions.
Smith says she has asked Health Minister Adriana LaGrange to revamp the structure of Alberta Health Services, better known as AHS, to make it more responsive to regional needs.
“Let’s get Alberta Health Services focused on doing what we all expect them to do, which is delivering the very best hospital care and then see if there’s other management structures that will work for some of those other areas,” Smith said Thursday.
