flag Nova Scotia's auditor general found major flaws in its nursing home expansion, including non-competitive bidding and poor oversight.

flag Nova Scotia's auditor general has found significant flaws in the government's plan to expand nursing home capacity, including bypassing competitive bidding for 4,836 beds and failing to properly monitor construction. flag The report reveals that 85% of new or replacement beds were awarded without tendering, often to existing providers, raising concerns about transparency and value. flag Despite the government's claim of cost savings and stable provider relationships, no evidence was provided. flag Missing approval documents in 44% of inspected projects further highlight oversight gaps. flag The department has agreed to implement most of the auditor’s 10 recommendations.
