Provincial Liberal opposition leader David Swann is applauding health minister Ron Liepert for the people he's selected for an advisory committee on improving patient care and health care.
However Swann says he believes the minister has a set agenda on where health care reform is going in Alberta.
Swann took in a media briefing Liepert gave to reporters in Calgary Tuesday afternoon, and says Liepert's first priority is cost cutting.
The Liberal leader says the goal of the stelmach government is to move health care towards a privatized system.
"This is health reform by stealth. This committee is a cover for making the changes he already has in mind or if he doesn't he has a direction that he's heading and he's not telling Albertans."
Swann says it's almost impossible for the committee in two months to come up with major legislative reforms that are going to make an improvement in patient access and cost effectiveness of the system.
