Report calls for modernization and reform of health screening task force

A federally appointed expert panel is recommending that the Public Health Agency of Canada modernize and reform a task force that advises family doctors on preventative care subjects ranging from breast cancer screening to fracture prevention. The governance, mandate and processes of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, an independent panel of 15 medical experts that creates national guidelines on preventative health care, have been under review since last May.
