AMA president not happy with healthcare inquiry
The head of the Alberta Medical Association is not happy with Premier Alison Redford’s healthcare inquiry.
In a letter posted on their website, president Dr Linda Slocombe says an inquiry that only deals with preferential access, or “queue jumping,” only bandages over the problem.
Slocombe says the inquiry must also deal with the issue of doctor intimidation.

On Tuesday, health minister Fred Horne announced the inquiry would focus only on allegations of queue jumping by Conservative insiders, and doctor intimidation would be investigated by two task forces.
