Forty-seven per cent of recommendations analysed by the National Audit Office in 12 audits were fully implemented by the ministries and entities concerned, 38% were partly implemented, and 15% showed no developments or little progress.

This could be seen from a compendium of National Audit Office follow-up reports on 12 audits undertaken by the office over the past few years. The compendium was on Wednesday presented to Speaker Anglu Farrugia.

The NAO identified a number of audits carried out in recent years with a view of monitoring the implementation or otherwise of the main recommendations made.

The purpose was to establish whether, and to what extent, shortcomings and issues identified in past audits were being addressed by the ministries and entities concerned.

An analysis on the degree of implementation was undertaken on the financial and compliance audits of:
• Heritage Malta
• Mount Carmel Hospital Expenditure
• Medicines Authority
• Malta Gaming Authority
• Ministry for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects
• Office of the Prime Minister – Energy Project.

The performance audits of:
• The General Practitioner Function – The core of primary health care
• Enforcement Action by MEPA within the Outside Development Zone
• Tackling Domestic Violence
• An Analysis of the Pharmacy of Your Choice Scheme.

And the IT audits of:
