Cancer Care Ontario Panned

A new audit of Cancer Care Ontario shows the agency suffered from many of the same problems that plagued troubled eHealth Ontario.

Newly released documents show that Cancer Care spent nearly $75million on consultants over the last two years but didn't always follow the rules on competitive tendering.

The audit says one consulting firm received single-sourced contracts worth $18.7 million over a three-year period.

It also found that none of the expenses billed by consultants were pre-approved by the agency and almost all weren't back up by receipts.

Other documents show that Cancer Care paid several executives hundreds of thousands of dollars each to leave the agency this year.
