The Department of Health has released only one of more than 20 internal audits and reports that revealed “critical weaknesses” in its pandemic management, according to a memo obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
“The pandemic revealed critical weaknesses and gaps in Canada’s emergency preparedness and management posture,” the Nov. 1 memo said. “A preliminary analysis of key reports and studies identified key themes which point to areas of improvement.”
The memo, dubbed “Ministerial Briefing Volume 1,” said more than 21 “relevant internal Public Health Agency audits, evaluations and reports” had been completed. Only one has been released thus far.
