BC Auditor General to release audits on government programs addressing toxic drug deaths, focusing on overdose prevention, supervised consumption, and prescribed safer-supply implementation.

The BC auditor general is set to release two independent audits on government programs aimed at reducing toxic drug deaths. These audits will focus on the province's overdose prevention and supervised consumption services, as well as the first phase of the prescribed safer-supply implementation. The safer-supply program has faced criticism due to claims that drugs from the program are being diverted into other regions of Canada, however, Solicitor General Mike Farnworth has stated there is no evidence of widespread diversion.
