New Brunswick’s auditor general is raising questions about how the Holt government locates and tracks collaborative care clinics, the centrepiece of its push to improve health care access.
Paul Martin said in an audit released Tuesday that it wasn’t clear whether the Department of Health chose the right locations, nor how many patients were being taken off waitlists.
“The department did not have adequate information to demonstrate that collaborative care clinics were improving access to primary care where it was needed most,” Martin said in the report, which he presented to the legislature’s public accounts committee.
