NLHS Faces Unauthorized Expenses Including Milk Frothers and Airbnb Charges
A recent Auditor General report revealed numerous unapproved expense claims paid to an agency nurse company by NLHS. The expenses included electric vehicle rentals, canceled flights, department store purchases like milk frothers and rice cookers, unauthorized per diems, and more. NLHS has ceased business with the agency.
A new report by the Auditor General found that an agency nurse company received hundreds of thousands of dollars in unapproved expense claims from the health authority.
The agency, referred to as 'Agency A,' was criticized by the AG for its billing practices.
Despite rejections from NLHS, the company spent over $545,000 on electric vehicle rentals, even billing for 11 vehicles a week six months after being instructed not to do so.
Some of the questionable expenses billed to NLHS included flight charges for cancelled flights, department store purchases of various items, per diems paid on non-working days, unauthorized gasoline expenses, a U-Haul move, and an Airbnb charge with incomplete documentation.
During a random audit, inappropriate HST payments were discovered, totaling over $35,000, but the authority opted not to conduct a full audit of the charges.
As of 2025, NLHS has ceased doing business with Agency A.
