Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Health Council of Canada : The Health Council of Canada (HCC) was a non-profit agency funded by Health Canada. The Royal Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada, led by Roy J. Romanow, had recommended the creation of the Health Council of Canada in its 2002 report, "Building on Values". The HCC was incorporated in 2004 with a mandate to provide national leadership and "to act as an effective and impartial mechanism for the collection and analysis of data on the performance of the health care system; provide strategic advice and analysis to federal, provincial and territorial health ministers and deputy ministers on important and emerging policy issues; and seek ongoing input and advice from the public and stakeholders on strategic policy issues".

The HCC monitored and reported on the progress of commitments made in the 2003 First Ministers' Accord on Health Care Renewal and the 2004 Ten-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care. It added to its mandate in 2010 the responsibility to report on innovative practices that had been developed in different provinces and territories. The HCC comprised thirteen Corporate Members who were the provincial and territorial Health Ministers (with the exception of Quebec) and the federal Health Minister, as well as thirteen Councillors and one ex-officio Councillor who met quarterly. These Councillors were subject-matter experts on a wide range of important health issues. After 2010, the number of councillors was reduced with regional representation replacing provincial or territorial representation. The HCC closed down in April 2014 after its funding ended; its closure coincided with the expiry of the 2004 Health Accord.
