Thank you very much for the question.
Our findings on the department's stockpile focused in on the fact that there was inaccurate and incomplete information of the amounts that were in stock. Before the pandemic there was an approach that was expected to have been followed to have the appropriate amounts in the stockpile, and we found that it wasn't indeed followed.
During the pandemic we identified errors in the stockpile, whether from manual errors in inputting information on materials or equipment received, or from the actual contents of the stockpile. Our recommendation was focused on accuracy and completeness. We didn't comment on the expiry dates. However, as we mentioned in the PPE and medical device report, that is an important factor to be aware of as you manage a stockpile.
