Alberta's health minister says low wages didn't drive doctors away

[CHIMO]

Four top public health doctors are not leaving because of low wages, said Alberta Health Minister Ron Liepert.

“What I said at the time was that going forward there were demands that we didn’t feel we could agree to. I did not say their salaries were too high,” Liepert said Tuesday.

Dr. Karen Grimsrud, the acting provincial health officer, Dr. Gloria Keays, the deputy provincial health officer, and Dr. Ameet Singh, the infectious-disease medical consultant, are all leaving the Health and Wellness Department when their contracts expire in August.

A fourth senior public health official, Dr. Shainoor Virani, stepped down earlier this year.
