The trial of former IWK Health Centre CEO Tracy Kitch appears destined to be delayed.
Kitch, who is facing charges of fraud over $5,000 and breach of trust, was scheduled to begin her trial on Jan. 4 in Halifax provincial court.
But efforts by her lawyers, and the lawyer for the Halifax hospital s former chief financial officer, to get access to documents from the Nova Scotia auditor general s office have not gone as expected.
Earlier this month, as part of a third-party records application by defence lawyers, acting auditor general Terry Spicer testified about the office s work on a performance audit of the hospital that was completed in 2018.
