New Brunswick will establish eight professional care homes to provide full-time care for children with complex needs under the care of Social Development.
The province says it found gaps in care, especially for kids with complex needs, following three reports looking into its child welfare system.
One of those reports was conducted by the auditor general while another was completed by Norm Bossé, the province’s child and youth advocate.
Bossé said the real positive is seeing provincial departments work together on this issue.
“This has to be done by social development, health, their budgets have to deal with this and include education in there and public safety if you need to. This is the way they have to do this in the future,” Bossé said.

The first New Brunswick case of rare blood clotting linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine was reported Tuesday.
She said the person received appropriate treatment and has since recovered. Her understanding is that it happened sometime between five and 21 days after receiving the vaccine when you would expect to see any adverse reactions.
Russell did not release any other details about the person, including the zone they are located in, citing privacy considerations.
“While every adverse reaction is unfortunate, it is important to remember that these blood clots are extremely rare,” Russell said.
“The vaccine helps prevent the much higher risks associated with COVID-19 infections.”
