Three of the audits are on health care, including examining access to primary care, as the government works toward a goal of connecting every Ontarian to primary care by 2029.
The auditor is also issuing reports on oversight of medical education in family medicine and oversight of physician billing, which will look at the Ministry of Health’s systems for identifying inappropriate costs.
In another audit related to health, the report will also examine management of the provincial personal protective equipment stockpile.
The auditor’s report will also include a look at the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority, the regulator for producers of batteries, tires and blue box materials.
