Lysyk also checked to see if the Ministry of Health is hiring the right mix of doctors, nurses and other health-care professionals, and will report on the cost-effectiveness of land ambulance services.

The report will also look at the government’s oversight of the 1,000 private schools in Ontario, and the Ministry of Natural Resources’ ability to manage 334 provincial parks.

It will also look at the Ontario Power Generation, which the auditor says has had trouble improving its operational efficiency and reducing operating costs, especially labour.

Lysyk will also issue a second report today on the province’s efforts to divest itself of the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission.
