Nova Scotia Health Authority hopes to increase tranparency, makes board meetings public

The board of the Nova Scotia Health Authority voted to open its meetings to the public and make its minutes publicly available. The plan includes a two-phased approach to becoming more transparent. The first phase sees the board publish meeting notes online and give groups an opportunity to present to the board. The second phase, set for 2019, will focus on opening meetings to the public with a format that would look similar to the IWK Health Centre's board meetings, which include open sessions and in-camera portions to deal with privacy concerns or debates.
