Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services expects to soon have a comprehensive review done on payments made to a travel nursing agency cited in a recent bombshell report by the auditor general.
“That contract will be provided by the end of this week, with the expectation that the forensic audit will be completed by the end of September,” NLHS CEO Pat Parfrey told a legislative committee hearing on Tuesday afternoon.
In a scathing report released earlier this summer, Auditor General Denise Hanrahan highlighted a series of payments made to one nursing company in particular, dubbed Agency A.
Hanrahan called for “an immediate comprehensive audit of all amounts paid to Agency A from April 2022 to present, to recover public funds paid in error.” The province no longer has contracts with the company.
