Alberta minister defends dispensation in Talibi case
Alberta hospitals minister Gordon Miniely defends granting a health plan dispensation to cardiac specialist Talibi after being axed by Premier Lougheed. Lougheed released a terse statement saying Miniely signed an agreement absolving Talibi of claims to the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan. The case centers on 165 bills Talibi filed in 1978 for heart tests at his Edmonton institute and allegations of improper payments. The issue will be pursued in court, with a full inquiry sought by the NDP.
