Health Council of Canada releases third annual report to Canadians

Health Council of Canada releases third annual report to Canadians
The report, entitled Health Care Renewal in Canada: Measuring Up?, assesses the progress made in health care renewal and the fulfillment of federal, provincial and territorial commitments outlined in the 2003 First Ministers' Accord on Health Care Renewal and the 10-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care. The report examines our collective capacity to measure the performance of health care systems across the country and suggests ways to bolster transparency and accountability in health care.

Included with the report are tables comparing progress in health care renewal by province and territory, as well as a synthesis report on Canadian perceptions of the health care system (2002-2006) by McGill University Prof. Stuart Soroka.

Copies of the report and supporting materials are available online at healthcouncilcanada.ca [3].
