A new issue has emerged that is of utmost importance to patients in Alberta.

There have been concerning allegations in the news regarding the potential inappropriate expenditure of public funds on sub-standard masks, medications, and high rates paid to chartered surgical facilities for health services. Patients in Alberta have a right to feel concerned. Every taxpayer dollar in the system must count and be expended wisely to benefit front-line care, increase access to services, reduce wait times and improve health out comes. The allegations that have been made regarding potential misuse of Alberta taxpayer funds by Alberta Health Services and the Government of Alberta are very concerning and patients need answers.

Alberta’s patients need more from their health care system than it can currently deliver. The population of the province increased faster than government planned for during a period when health services were already under immense pressure.
‍
Now is the time to ensure the government turns their focus to what truly matters - patients in Alberta deserve to have confidence in our health care system, and in the government's integrity and decision-making processes.
