Alberta health minister says 'proper procedures' were followed for patient taken to hotel instead of care home | CBC News LoadedMinister Adriana LaGrange said she was 'very concerned' when asked about an exclusive CBC News story that detailed how Blair Canniff, 62, was taken to a hotel south of Edmonton after spending months in the Royal Alexandra Hospital, as he recovered from a stroke.
"My understanding is that AHS followed their proper procedures. They did discharge to a non-profit provider and you would have to ask the non-profit provider why they chose that site," LaGrange said on Monday.
Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services Jason Nixon said that his office is "most definitely" looking into the situation.Are you affected by the events detailed in this story?
