The costs of laying off the staff at Brockville General Hospital ($836,863) are not being ‘held against’ the hospital's bottom line, according to the Brockville Recorder & Times.
Chief financial officer Steve Read told the paper that the hospital achieved a balanced budget in 2009-10 despite the one-time cost, based on the procedures of the Southeastern Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). In fact, according to the LHIN, Brockville General recorded a $228,524 operating surplus. Read added that the hospital is moving forward without the burden of a budget deficit looming in the future.
No concern is reported about imaginary balanced budgets in the present.
The hospital cut 15 beds and 30 staff in March.
