LHIN to look over budget

The Southeast Local Health Integration Network is looking over its budget to ensure they have spending under control for the coming year.

The provincial government has handed down a 2.1-per cent increase, the lowest the health care sector has seen in years.

LHIN CEO Paul Huras says the world’s economy is a major factor.

He adds they’ve seen as much as double digit increases, but that may be a thing of the past.

LHIN’s governance finance committee will gather Wednesday morning at 9:30 at their Adam Street office.
