Alberta's Opposition NDP is asking the auditor general to investigate the province's failed attempt to privatize community lab testing.
David Shepherd, the NDP's health critic, says an independent analysis is needed, and that the United Conservative government can't be trusted to transparently report what went wrong.
Last week, Health Minister Adriana LaGrange pulled the plug on the handover of community lab testing to private provider DynaLife after months of complaints of long wait times and service bottlenecks in Calgary and the southern region. Shepherd said the secrecy around the cost shows the United Conservative government is hiding something from Albertans or has bought something without knowing the cost.
Smith said she, too, wants to know what went wrong. She said the fact DynaLife was the only bidder for the province-wide testing contract should have been a red flag."I would look at as a step to stabilize the system," said Smith. "The details of this agreement are still being finalized. We will continue to keep Albertans informed and will share further details when they are made available."
