Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada Final ReportBuilding on Values: The Future of Health Care in Canada |
| Roy Romanow, head of the Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada, has recommended sweeping changes to ensure the longterm sustainability of Canadas health care system. The proposed changes were outlined in the Commissions Final Report, Building on Values: The Future of Health Care in Canada, which was tabled in the House of Commons November 28, 2002. |
The Commissions final report comprises 47 detailed, costed recommendations that include implementation time frames. My recommendations are premised on three overarching themes. First, that we require strong leadership and improved governance to keep Medicare a national asset. Second, that we need to make the system more responsive and efficient as well as more accountable to Canadians. And third, that we need to make strategic investments over the short-term to address priority concerns, as well as over the long-term to place the system on a more sustainable footing. Commissioner Romanow explained. |
