LHSC supervisor issues statement regarding recent financial scandal

LHSC Supervisor David Musyj issues statement following last week’s procurement lawsuits.

The supervisor of London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) issued a brief statement amid the fallout of last week’s financial scandal.

David Musyj said he will stay in the position as long as needed to ensure the hospital’s recovery.

Last week, the hospital filed a pair of civil lawsuits totaling $60 million against former employees and executives.

LHSC alleges a decade-long fraudulent procurement scheme where some of the defendants used money to buy real estate.

The second claim alleges the hospital’s former CEO and other top officials ignored the potential fraud.

The statements of claim have not been tested in court.

Last year the entire board of directors resigned.

There’s no timeline when a new board will be installed.

Musyj was appointed to the supervisor position last fall by the province.
