Physician negotiations update: Joint statement
2022-06-21

“Discussions between the Government of Alberta and the Alberta Medical Association continue to progress. To support the discussions, the parties previously agreed that any pending changes to Alberta Health Services (AHS) stipends and overhead would be put on hold until June 30.

“To provide clarity around questions physicians have raised, we can confirm that no action will be taken on June 30 with respect to AHS stipends or overhead.

“Any future actions Alberta Health or AHS make relating to either stipends or overhead will only be taken after appropriate notice has been provided to the AMA and affected groups so that they can consider their options.”
