Ontario Government Restoring Public Confidence in Hospital Management
Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care
Recent concerns about the quality of the hospital's governance and management have raised serious doubts about the ability of the AGH Board to properly govern the hospital's affairs.
The minister's actions were made in response to recommendations made by Mr. Ron Gagnon, appointed as investigator in May of this year by the government to review the AGH's governance and management practices.
These measures will help ensure that efficient and effective operations are restored at the AGH and the community can once again have confidence in the local hospital system.
While concerns about the governance of the hospital are serious, the North East Local Health Integration Network affirms that the proper delivery of health care services at the hospital have not been impacted by these issues.
