The Health Council of Canada welcomes the recent report issued by the Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology. The committee reviewed the remaining work that is needed to meet the goals of the 10-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care. The resulting document, Time for Transformative Change, released last week, is a comprehensive report with 46 recommendations outlining how to continue to ensure progress is made in reforming Canada's health care system. The Health Council is pleased to see that many of its recommendations made it into the final report such as the need for measurable goals, timetables and public reporting employed by governments to improve our health care system.
