Sask. Health Authority Cuts 26 Senior Positions While Restructuring Leadership Roles
- The Saskatchewan Health Authority restructured its leadership and cut 26 senior administrative positions in 2025 to shift resources to front-line care.
- This change followed an SHA review last fall showing wide variations in local leadership and staffing levels, prompting a refocus on front-line roles.
- SHA will invest in 27 additional clinical managers and upgrade 20 existing positions to full or near full-time status, enhancing on-site leadership and staff support in health facilities located across 45 communities in rural and northern areas.
- Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill explained that funds currently allocated to senior roles outside the scope of direct service will be redirected to support frontline positions throughout communities across the province.
- The restructuring aims for better leadership visibility, stronger local oversight, and fulfilling election promises with full implementation expected by fall 2025.
