South West Health 2012-2013 Budget/Business Plan
South West
Health will receive approximately $2 million less in funding from
the Department of Health & Wellness for 2012-2013. At the same time,
we have to absorb $1.6 million in new and rising cost pressures like
wage increases, increased costs for medications, medical and
surgical supplies and higher utility costs (oil & electricity) --
all while protecting patient and client care.
This means about approximately $3.6 million had to be found to
offset budget pressures including the reduction in funding from the
Department of Health & Wellness. View our 2012-2013 Business Plan
