Ensuring that New Brunswick has the health professionals it needs, when it needs them, is an important aspect of the Provincial Health Plan, Healthy Futures.

The Department of Health, working with the Regional Health Authorities, launched a review of non-clinical services with a mandate to examine how to better manage the approximately $250 million the RHAs spend annually on goods and services not directly related to providing clinical care. As a result, the Government of New Brunswick has established FacilicorpNB in September 2008.

Since September 1, 2008, major changes have taken place in the health care system to improve the delivery of care to the New Brunswick population. The province’s eight regional health authorities have been amalgamated into two new health authorities, namely Regional Health Authority A (RHA A) and Regional Health Authority B (RHA B). The new Regional Health Authority A is the result of the amalgamation of Regional Health Authority 4 (NorthWest), the Restigouche Health Authority (Campbellton), the ACADIE-BATHURST Health Authority (Bathurst and Acadian Peninsula) and the Beauséjour Health Authority (Kent and Southeast).

Important changes are underway to improve health care delivery to the residents of New Brunswick. The existing 8 Regional Health Authorities will now become 2 – Regional Health Authority A (RHA A) and Regional Health Authority B (RHA B). This change will help to make sure that all New Brunswickers have access to quality healthcare. RHA B is a temporary title for this region and will eventually change when a new name has been decided upon.
