Alberta's UCP government introduced Bill 22, the Health Statutes Amendment Act, to split up Alberta Health Services (AHS) into four separate organizations: mental health and addictions, acute care, primary care, and continuing care. The bill enables a vision for an improved healthcare system, aiming for efficiency, accessibility, and patient-centred care. Health Minister Adriana LaGrange will oversee the entire system, from budgets to workforce placement. This multi-year transition is estimated to cost $85 million and is expected to take effect in June.
