“Since the issue of overpayments is ongoing, there is no single time frame that identified a series of overpayments,” Bronwyn Penner Holigroski with the WRHA said in an email.
“Overpayments are detected as a result of running reports and review by management so they will be identified on an ongoing basis.”
There are about 1,200 employees involved.
So far, there WRHA has recovered about half the money – around $600,000.
