Today, the Health Council of Canada releases Progress Report 2012: Health care renewal in Canada, which provides a pan-Canadian view on the progress achieved by governments to date in five key areas.

The report focuses on progress at the federal, provincial and territorial levels in: home and community care, health human resources, telehealth, access to care in the North, and health indicators. The report states that while provinces and territories met most of what was expected of them as laid out in the Accords, the actions taken have not brought about large-scale change. The report also highlights innovative practices that demonstrate how progress has been achieved in select jurisdictions.
