A spokeswoman for the Kelsey Trail Health Authority says the RCMP are trying to figure out how $24,000 disappeared from one of the region’s health facilities over a year ago.

 

Peggy Ratcliffe says the money went missing from the Pine Island Outpatient Centre in Cumberland House.

 

Since that time, the health region has taken over operations at the centre and launched its own internal investigation.

 

An auditor’s report indicates the money was pocketed by a former employee.

 

Ratcliffe says it’s unclear whether the money will ever be recovered.

 

Ratcliffe says the money first began to disappear in September 2006.
