Alberta election fact check: Does Danielle Smith want to ‘sell off’ hospitals?
Hardcastle said there are three issues that surround contracting out health services: access to care, increased cost to the public due to private profit concerns, and quality of care.
The health law professor also said allowing a further corporatization of health-care services like hospitals isn’t likely to help with recruitment. “I can confirm that under a UCP government, with our health-care guarantee, no one will ever pay out of pocket for a family doctor or for hospital services,” Smith said on May 11.
Smith pointed to the confidence she gathered from the work done in the first 90 days of Dr. John Cowell as AHS administrator and Mauro Chies as AHS CEO.“If we need to continue doing some contracting out of services that can be done in charge of surgical centres, we will consider doing that. But I think that people should feel a lot of confidence in what they see at Alberta Health Services.
