"Much of our legislation defines how our health care system works, but it doesn't always meet the needs of the patient. As we move toward delivering health care through new and better ways, the needs of the patient must always be our first priority."

Alberta Health and Wellness Minister Ron Liepert on announcing the Committee, September 1, 2009

Patient Care & Health System Performance

Alberta's health system is currently governed by a complex web of legislation and regulation, some of which goes back to the early 1900s and 1960s. This legislative structure is outdated in parts and doesn't promote innovation or respond well to emerging health issues.

Alberta needs a legislative framework that will help the system put patients' needs first and focus on safety, quality of care and accountability.

That's why, on September 1, 2009, Ron Liepert, Minister of Alberta Health and Wellness, appointed the Minister's Advisory Committee on Health to look at how to improve Alberta's legislation so that it better supports improvements to Alberta's publicly funded health care system.
