Public health inspectors no longer transferring to government ministry in Alta. health restructure: premier​

Instead of becoming direct government employees this summer as planned, Alberta’s public health inspectors will instead transfer to another agency, Premier Danielle Smith says.

On her call-in radio show on Saturday, Smith walked back the decision to move health inspectors from Alberta Health Services to be direct government employees — instead moving them to be under the purview of Primary Care Alberta.

Smith said this way, inspectors keep compensation and benefits packages untouched amid health-care restructuring.

The provincial government has backed off plans for public health inspectors with Alberta Health Services to work directly for the government.

Earlier this month, public health workers, who were members of the Health Sciences Association of Alberta (HSAA) and recently negotiated a new contract, called out the government’s plan that would have forced them to switch unions and become members of Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE).

On Saturday, during her Your Province, Your Premier radio show, Premier Danielle Smith said government has decided that workers would instead be under the control of Primary Care so workers can remain with the AUPE to reduce disruption to workers.

Yes but what concerns me is by her own admission she didn't know the damage this was causing till someone told her by calling into her radio show. This tells me either A this wasn't studied, or B her 4 different health ministers aren't keeping her informed about whats going on. Either way it is concerning.
