    In the summer of 2012, then-health minister Fred Horne requested data on the physical condition of Alberta’s health facilities. Alberta Infrastructure responded with a memo, which the Journal obtained through an access to information request. The memo provided a summary of the rating system and noted that 153 health facilities had so far been evaluated by a consultant. It then added an important proviso. “Not all ... evaluations were used to determine the physical condition of a facility. INFRA and AHS review each evaluation to reach a consensus on the latest condition of a facility.”
