Northern Health reports small surplus for early 2004 05
Northern Health's board received a financial update showing a surplus of 1.93 million for the first two months of fiscal 2004 05, though the budget did not project a surplus then. The variance stems from eight days of job action by facilities staff in late April and early May, with many cancelled procedures re scheduled. The board aims for a balanced annual budget and approved in principle a preliminary capital plan addressing facility needs through 2008, to be reviewed with regional partners, and plans to advance a regional palliative care strategy. The next board meeting is scheduled for late September.
