Description

This Act continues the Health Quality Council of Alberta and maintains the core mandate of the Council to study and report on the health system. The Act enables the Council to work within the health system on identifying and implementing improvements to the quality of health services in our province. The Council will continue as a corporation, and appointments to its board of directors will be made by Cabinet, not the Minister. The Act provides a new health system inquiry authority. While this authority is very similar and imports many provisions from the Public Inquiries Act, it has some special distinctions designed to make it more functional for the purpose of looking specifically into serious health system matters.
