Despite the fact that it was predicting a nearly $6 million deficit as recently as March, the Centre intégré de Santé et Services sociaux de l'Outaouais (CISSSO) announced that for the third year in a row, it ran a balanced budget.
The 2018-2019 budget for CISSSO is pegged at $862 million, which represents an increase of just over $70 million from 2017-2018.
The organization said that despite rising drug and oncology costs, plus an increase in service demand and what it calls labour recruitment shortages, CISSSO has actually produced a slight surplus.
