Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services responded to an access-to-information request from MattBarter.ca, denying access to the audit of payments to the travel nursing agency, stating that “content experts with NLHS have advised that the report is not yet finalized.”
NLHS contracted Deloitte Canada to conduct the audit, which was initially scheduled to be completed by October 2025.
On December 23, 2025, NLHS CEO Pat Parfrey told CBC News that the final audit report would be completed “in the near future.”
NLHS decided to conduct the audit after the province’s Auditor General, Denise Hanrahan, called for “an immediate comprehensive audit of all amounts paid to Agency A from April 2022 to present, to recover public funds paid in error.”
She said the company “was frequently reimbursed for non-reimbursable expenses” and that there were “strong indications of potential billing fraud by Agency A for electric vehicle rentals.”
