Description
Summary:In February 2022, a task force appointed by the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador submitted a report that he had commissioned 14 months earlier. The task force’s objective was to devise a 10-year strategy for modernizing and reforming the province's healthcare system and bringing health outcomes in the province up to Canada's high standards. The report will be followed this month (June 2022) by two more documents, an 'implementation blueprint' and an 'evidence report.' This commentary examines the report, summarizing both its devastating findings on the current health system and its comprehensive and ambitious proposals for reform.
