Alberta Health Services halts plan to reduce patient food, drinks after pushback

April 1, 2025
The head of Alberta Health Services says the agency is halting a proposed food-reduction policy after public outcry over patients potentially being cut off from snacks and drinks.The agency’s interim president and CEO, Andre Tremblay, said the policy was set to go into effect Tuesday to change how food is stored and delivered in an effort to reduce waste – not to deprive patients of food.“We are concerned by the misinterpretation of this proposed policy and are looking into reports that food and drink may not have been available to patients. We remain focused on delivering high-quality care to all Albertans where and when they need it,” Tremblay said in a news release.
