Danielle Smith singled Dr. Hinshaw out for criticism during her campaign to lead the United Conservative Party, blaming her for providing bad advice that led to health restrictions
Premier Danielle Smith is replacing Deena Hinshaw as Alberta’s chief medical officer of health ahead of significant changes she says are coming this week to the province’s health care system and its leadership.
The doctor was among several high-profile chief medical health officers across the country who earned admiration and accolades for their steady, calm advice at daily news conferences as a novel coronavirus spread around the world and forced the country into lockdown. Dr. Joffe is an AHS vice-president and medical director and will continue in those roles as he takes on the role of chief medical officer. He will not be additionally compensated for taking on this position, said the government.
Health Minister Jason Copping said, also in a statement, that he looks forward to working with Dr. Joffe, who he said brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role. The minister also thanked Dr. Hinshaw for her service and dedication to Albertans. David Shepherd, NDP health critic, said in a statement, “Albertans deserve to hear from Dr. Joffe immediately as respiratory illnesses are spreading rapidly and hospitals are inundated.”
