Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Dormant Accounts Fund

9:00 am

Mr. Colm Desmond:

We allocated more funding to a very successful project, the mobile health screening unit for refugees and other new arrivals to the country. That is a multi-year project that is to continue until late 2019. Funding has been decommitted within our overall envelope - therefore, within our voted allocation - for that project. It was slightly late in starting due to the refurbishment of a mobile screening unit for the purpose of the project.
