RecommandationS du rapport

Que le Conseil de santé de la circonscription sanitaire de la ville d’Ottawa prenne connaissance du présent rapport à titre d’information.

Background

The 2011 operating budget year end results present actual year end revenues and expenditures against the amounts previously budgeted for the year.

DISCUSSION

Document 1 provides operating budget detail on year end results for the various Branches of Ottawa Public Health (OPH). Financial information is presented by funding type, which includes cost-shared (city and province); city funded (100% municipal); and provincial or federal funded (100% provincial or federal) along with a breakdown by specific program.

Document 2 provides compensation information showing the actual salary, benefits and overtime costs incurred by OPH for the full 2011 budget year.

Year End Results

Although OPH’s expenditures exceeded its budget by $0.279 million, based on the results reported to December 31, 2011 (Table 1), OPH has received official confirmation (letter dated March 30, 2012) that the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care will provide the Ottawa Board of Health up to $729,547 in one-time funding for extraordinary costs associated with the response to the infection control lapse. 

Therefore, the City will be reimbursed for the $0.279 million deficit, as per the report to FEDCO, Disposition of 2011 Tax and Rate Supported Operating Surplus / Deficit (ACS2012-CMR-FIN-008).

The additional $450,547 has been allocated to priority programs temporarily suspended or scaled back due to the infection control lapse response as well as Board of Health strategic priorities.
