Montreal’s largest private breast cancer treatment clinic has cut one quarter of its staff. Ville Marie Medical and Women's Health Centre says the decision was necessary because it was unable to recover nearly $1.5 million it lost in fraud.
Ben Driss, the clinics former Chief Financial Officer is accused of siphoning the money since he was hired in 2005.
The centre’s managing director has said service to patients will not be affected by the cuts. Most of the cuts were to support staff, not doctors.
