The Independence of Chief Medical Health Officers – February 18, 2022
In this session, we will consider the statutory basis for the position of Chief Medical Officers of Health, review why the role is designed to have a degree of autonomy and whether this autonomy can be exercised during a public emergency, and the extent to which they can or should speak publicly about the scientific research that informs their work and their actual advice to the Cabinet.
