Health authority pauses whistleblower hotline development
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is hitting pause on developing an anonymous whistleblower hotline.
In an emailed statement, the SHA’s Lisa Thomson said the authority is withdrawing a request for proposals (RFP) on developing the hotline in order “to allow the Saskatchewan Health Authority to conduct further internal work on disclosure policies.”
On Monday the SHA confirmed it had put out a request for proposals for developing the hotline.
“Safe, high-quality patient care is a priority for the SHA, but also for all of our staff who come to work every day to provide that safe, quality care,” Thomson’s email said.
