The London Health Sciences Centre’s (LHSC) past financial practices are going under a criminal microscope.
Details about the nature of the police investigation haven't been released, but London West NDP MPP Peggy Sattler said word of the investigation looking into LHSC finances is troubling.
“I don't think this happens very often. That the police would be investigating a hospital for fraud, so that is deeply, deeply concerning,” said Sattler.
“I, like other Londoners today, woke up to a Halloween scary story coming out of London Health Sciences again,” said Peter Bergmanis, head of the London Health Coalition
Bergmanis was named a member of the recently formed LHSC community advisory committee and is anxious to see the hospital group on a better path.
In recent months, Windsor Regional Hospital Chief Executive Officer David Musyj has been appointed supervisor of LHSC by the Ministry of Health.
“As far as the supervisor is concerned, he's trying to bring back some sort of financial accountability and stability. This is obviously part of that agenda,” said Bergmanis.
