The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that it is hard to imagine a more daunting assignment than the one Quebec is preparing to hand to the still-to-be-chosen head of the province's new health care superagency. The Globe's Konrad Yakabuski writes that under legislation adopted in December, Sante Quebec is set to become the province's largest employer with more than 325,000 employees, and with a mandate to make the $60-billion health care sector more efficient. The new chief executive officer will be expected to apply private-sector management practices and measurement tools to a sector more accustomed to command economy diktats and constraints. All for a fraction of a private-sector salary. The person that Health Minister Christian Dube is seeking to run the new Crown corporation faces a colossal task transforming a health care sector that operates in silos run by career bureaucrats into a unified entity that puts patient services first. Mr. Dube, who was formerly a senior executive at Cascades, has made it clear he is looking to recruit a "top gun" from outside the health care bureaucracy to run Sante Quebec. The new CEO is expected to instantly become the public face of the Quebec health care sector.
