The British Columbia government has launched a review of its provincial health authority, saying it aims to ensure resources are used efficiently while reducing “unnecessary” administrative spending.

The move is part of a broader plan to assess all health authorities in the province, the government said in a March 31 press release. The Provincial Health Services Authority was chosen as the first entity to undergo review because of its province-wide service scope, officials said.
