Nova Scotia’s auditor general reports that the province’s Office of Addictions and Mental Health is not providing effective oversight of mental health and addiction services. The audit concludes that oversight is failing to ensure that programs and supports are being managed appropriately and that performance and accountability expectations are being met. The auditor raises concerns about how the office monitors services, tracks outcomes, and uses information to improve care. The findings indicate that there are weaknesses in the way the province supervises the planning, delivery, and evaluation of supports for people with mental health and addiction needs. The reports describe the issue as a systemic problem in governance and monitoring rather than a review of a single program. The auditor’s work calls attention to the need for stronger oversight practices, clearer accountability, and better use of data to guide decision-making. Overall, the audit suggests Nova Scotia must improve how it supervises these services to better ensure effectiveness and public accountability.
