It is disingenuous to post old numbers when you know that the numbers have changed. And if you had been reading this thread, you would know the context of OMGWTF's post was that the argument is that we are fourth after the changes made provincially and federally. So challenge him to support his claim if you like, but don't post old numbers that you know are unreliable because of those same changes and pretend they are still relevant.

I think we were really low rated when it came to things like cataracts, radiation and bypass surgeries.
Hard to lower wait times for surgeries when Op rooms get closed at 3 pm.

That's too bad. She ran a tight ship there. Well, except for the few financial scandals here and there.

The go verbal no paper trail is extremely disturbing, I have to wonder how much of this is happening now.

The interference in negotiations between the board and the union is also disturbing.

Good for her for resigning.

This is what happens when a party runs with a bunch of unqualified air drops as candidates and they win an election. You end up with a government run by unqualified and incompetent people.

the one thing though is that you can pretty much trace all decisions to the party leader or person in charge.

This is a pretty big explosive file now for the NDP.

Dude that's exactly what it is. Its equivalent to a company like Enron, shutting off the audit trail feature int heir accounting software so nobody sees who made what transactions.

The NDP can talk all it wants about how they want to be a transparent for the people government, but this bombshell shows that they can't be trusted on that.

Because if their ministers are doing it on this one file, they're doing it on a lot more.

Don't you mean to say that the PC's are the corrupt ones?

(did I do that right, NDP apologists?)

I hope this comes across better in context than it does as a 140 character tweet:

Haha! Oh man the diatribe I could go on concerning AHS. The amalgamation of the jurisdictions was a good idea, but AHS has to be the single most bloated Government agency in this province.

Ric McIver is evidently all over this. Also from a QR77 tweet:

I'm not a fan of the AHS as it stands because it felt like they stood by and watched it become a three headed remorseless money eating machine.

But this

Notley is starting to look incredibly two faced. I still remember the recording of the private NDP function where she was making jokes about the legitimately upset farmers concerning Bill 6.

But I guess if I describe Notley as one of the most incredibly incompetent premieres that this province has seen , and she is on her way to being several steps worse then Redford the Barbarian it would be a similar thing.

Remember though, any cuts to AHS will go directly to the front line services!

I'd be happy to see a full audit of the AHS operation and truly find out where every last dollar goes. The plus would be seeing the org chart and finding out how many layers of management there are between a Nurse and the CEO.

Right now, and mainly because of the whole Verbal we don't want a trail of what we're doing accusation, Hoffman should resign.

This story really stinks.

That's all I'm asking for.

the health care system has become a cash sink hole and a failure as far as effective delivery services because its become an employment agency for managers and a cash cow for unions.

Its time to audit the entire government services side of things and find inefficiencies. Maybe we can improve front line services and fund schools properly if we actually look at management layers, and how much we're spending on administration and logistics.
