A complaint has been filed with the RCMP over the loss of money at the health facility in Ile-a-la-Crosse.

 

The latest quarterly report on losses of public money within provincial government ministries and Crown corporations has been released.

 

It indicates $1,400 was “misappropriated” at the facility in December.

 

The records show the cash was given to a nurse to pay for long term care fees for a family member.

 

The RCMP was notified on March 21st.

 

Officials say receipting and handling processes have since been reviewed and strengthened.
