Romanow Papers, Volume 3: Governance of Health Care in Canada |
| The twelve papers in this third volume of
the research program for the Romanow Commission offer a detailed analysis of
the governance of health care in Canada from the perspective of
constitutionalism, intergovernmental relations, and societal context. In the
first section, the authors deal with the formal division of powers regarding
health care as outlined in the Canadian Constitution and the Charter of Rights
and Freedoms. The second section outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the
intergovernmental governance of health care. Finally, the third section focuses
on governance of health care outside of the governmental sphere. The theme that resonates throughout the contributions — and which is in itself a call for deeper analysis — is that health care governance has become locked in a cycle of mutual recrimination, blame assigning, and blame avoidance from the federal and provincial levels right down to the level of the individual citizen. |
