In the new era the Alberta premier is ushering in, Alberta’s monolithic superagency is broken into separate organizations by function.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


If there was a health-care system structure that guaranteed better patient care, lower surgical wait times, and impartial and accountable decision-making, then it would be in place everywhere.

"This backward-looking UCP plan will stuff patients and providers back into ineffective silos," NDP Leader Rachel Notley said.

But she hasn't much shied away from her animus toward AHS, which appeared to harden in the pandemic; consider that the mass ouster of the agency's board was one of this premier's first actions.

With LaGrange's Health Ministry assuming new oversight of infrastructure projects and facility planning, is it no longer a given that AHS will run a new Red Deer hospital?

In this vein, this reform is at the same time a decentralization and a recentralization in the ministries of LaGrange, Mental Health and Addictions Minister Dan Williams — and, ultimately, the premier's office.

"If something goes wrong with AHS and the government pays the price for it politically, you can see why that's a bad bargain," health systems expert Steven Lewis told CBC colleague Janet French.
