Joint Health Canada/Public Works and Government Services Canada audit of nursing services contracts in Northern Manitoba : final report / Office of Audit and Evaluation.: P24-705/2014E-PDF

"Health Canada (HC) is responsible for the delivery of primary care nursing services in remote First Nations and Inuit Communities. In Manitoba, the care is delivered to approximately 45,000 First Nations reserve residents in 21 nursing stations and two federal hospitals. As most reserve communities are too small and remote to support a physician, the Health Canada (HC) primary care model relies heavily on registered nurses based in nursing stations. A key component of primary care is the provision of 24/7 urgent care. As such, contract relief nurses are often required to fill vacant positions and to replace nurses who are temporarily absent. Since 2003, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has been involved in the contracting for relief nursing services with HC. Between 2003 and 2012, Standing Offer Agreements (SOA) were used for nursing services. Since 2012, these services have been procured through Task Authorization Contracts (TAC) to allow for better protection of confidential business information"--Executive Summary, p. i.
