Auditor General Denise Hanrahan delivered a performance audit report to the Public Accounts Committee pursuant to section 22 of the Auditor General Act, revealing that Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services, the Department of Health and Community Services, and the Department of Seniors failed to adequately ensure quality care for long-term care residents. The audit uncovered inappropriate oversight, limited performance measures, inconsistent monitoring, and operational standards that have not been comprehensively updated since 2005. The Public Accounts Committee is requesting formal action plans from the involved departments and health authority to address these deficiencies.
