On August 18, the Saskatchewan Government announced an Advisory Panel whose mandate is to “review the current Regional Health Authority (RHA) structure and provide options to reduce the number of RHAs in Saskatchewan.” The deadline for submissions (September 26) is a mere 38 calendar days from public announcement of the Advisory Panel. This is not sufficient time to explore ‘transformational change’ within a sector such as health care; it literally touches upon every person who resides in Saskatchewan – we need meaningful consultation and a thoughtful, measured approach to change.
