QHC cuts nine jobs
BELLEVILLE – Quinte Health Care cut 9 jobs Wednesday morning.
Six of the jobs were in management, the other three were supervisory positions.
The cuts come in the midst of budget cuts for the institution. A budget gap of $12 million was announced on November 25th at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital.
“The annual savings for for these 9 positions is a little less than $1 million and that’s salary and benefits included,” says Susan Rowe who is the Senior Director of Communications for Quinte Health Care.
The annual budget for 2015 is $193 million.
There should not be any negative effects on the level of care, according to Rowe.
“These were very valuable individuals to our organization. They certainly added a lot. The work that they were doing has been reallocated to others in the organization so we don’t any direct impact to patient care.”
