PREMIER STELMACH REFUSES TO COMMENT ON DOCUMENT
Premier Stelmach has been in possession of the document of Douglas L. Anderson MD., FRCS(C) for many months, entitled - "Ministers of Stelmach Government Refuse to Answer Surgeon's Questions".
The document reads as follows:
"Two ministers of Health & Wellness in the Stelmach Government along with their deputies have refused to even acknowledge receipt of numerous registered letters concerning Patient Neglect & Needless Suffering, yet alone discuss serious contents of these letters. These letters were sent to the following persons from Dr. Douglas L. Anderson (an active ophthalmic surgeon in Edmonton for over 30 years before retirement).
Dave Hancock & Deputy Ms. P. Meade
Ron Liepert & Deputy Ms. L. Miller
Unfortunately the former Minister of Justice, Ron Stevens also refused to acknowledge receipt of several registered letters sent to him by Dr. Anderson concerning Patient Neglect & Needless Suffering and did not answer important questions.
Premier Stelmach ignored numerous Registered Letters sent to him by Dr. Anderson concerning the above neglect by his ministers (Addendum to The Anderson Journal on Hon. Dave Hancock - Oct./08).
Albertans consider it a basic courtesy to at least acknowledge important correspondence.
Dr. Anderson presented four important questions to all of the above individuals but no one in the Stelmach Government will address them. The questions are:
1. Would you please confirm for me my understanding that the Government of Alberta has the ultimate & final responsibility & authority of assuring that all Albertans receive the best possible health care?
2. Why did it take five months of receiving numerous registered letters concerning Patient Neglect & Needless Suffering, before the Department of Health & Wellness (Minister Dave Hancock) was stimulated to contact Dr. Anderson?
3. Are the Senior Staff Doctors of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta and the Medical Doctors serving on the Council of the College, 'Regulated Members' of the College?
4. Why was Ms. P. Meade appointed to HEAD the new Health Super Board after she demonstrated clearly unethical & irresponsible performance while serving as Deputy Minister of Health & Wellness?
This behavior of the Stelmach Government is a blatant affront to democracy. This appalling behavior demands public exposure and correction".
Why would Premier Stelmach not convey to Albertans his analysis of this document?
Instead of dealing with his ministers in a responsible fashion, Premier Stelmach protects them and hides their gross negligence from the public.
ALBERTANS REQUIRE COMMUNICATION FROM PREMIER STELMACH
AN OPEN PUBLIC JUDICIAL INQUIRY
into health care for Albertans
IS ESSENTIAL
