• The auditor general released an audit showing the government did not conduct a provincial assessment of community needs to guide collaborative-care clinic expansion.
• The Health Department's data on primary care wait-lists was inaccurate and unreliable according to the audit.
• The department could not determine whether new clinics had removed patients from the provincial wait-list.
• A collaborative-care clinic opened Tuesday in Moncton, the 19th since April 2025.
• The government committed to establishing at least 30 collaborative-care teams across the province by 2028.
