MUHC to make $28M in cuts to make up for budget deficit - Benjamin Shingler, Brennan Neill, CBC News

The McGill University Health Centre needs to make $28 million in cuts over the next two years to make up for a budget shortfall. The cuts come a year after the MUHC moved into its new superhospital at the Glen site. Richard Fahey, the MUHC's director of communications, didn't rule out cuts to staff. He said Thursday the MUHC would look first at trimming back expenses through attrition. The MUHC will also look at ways to trim back expenses such as the renegotiation of contracts with suppliers, he said. "There are many things that are being contemplated," he said in a phone interview. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/muhc-hospital-cuts-1.3824177
