A consultant advising Alberta’s health authority on its use of private surgical centres simultaneously worked for a company vying for a contract to operate such a facility, according to a confidential report obtained by The Globe and Mail.

Jitendra Prasad, a former procurement official with Alberta Health Services, represented Alberta Surgical Group in negotiations with the health authority in the summer of 2022, while he was paid by AHS to advise it about contracting with such private providers, the report states.
