Nova Scotia’s Auditor General says he’s found problems with government services for people with disabilities, provincial rental housing problems, and government registries.
Jacques Lapointe has submitted his report to MLAs, and it raises concerns about the security of computer systems that hold personal and business info, especially in the land, business and joint stock registries.
Lapointe also says persons with disabilities might not get the kind of service they need because of weaknesses with client-needs assessments and complaint investigations at Community Services.
And in an audit of the Community Services rent supplement housing program, Lapointe says he found policies that are 15 years old, assessment and monitoring of rental units that is inadequate, and inadequate evaluation of subsidy applications from housing developers.
