Thank you.
The idea of greater pan-Canadian collaboration has been a recurring topic of conversation throughout these committee meetings. I'm wondering if the organizations and the hospitals that HealthCareCAN represents across Canada have been collaborating during the pandemic.
Specifically, what is the process for identifying existing health resources and gaps in health equipment and resources in hospitals? How is this information being communicated at the federal, regional and provincial levels?
In your view, how could communications between hospitals and different levels of government be improved, such that the provincial and federal governments have a better understanding of the needs of the health care provider organizations?
