Public Accounts Committee

2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards

12:00 pm

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

There is never a difficulty. All providers are paid at least a month in arrears. To the extent that money may be owed it is always significantly less than we owe then. Therefore, there is a let off essentially, so there is not a difficulty with reclaim.
