Variance Analysis (in thousands of dollars)

Public Health is operating a year-to-date surplus before indirect allocations of $1,052 and forecasting a surplus before indirect allocations of $395. The following factors have contributed to these variances:

Compensation

The favourable year-to-date variance of $261 and unfavourable forecasted variance of $112 is a result of delays in filling vacant positions within various Public Health programs offset by pressures relating to overtime and Workplace Safety Insurance Board in Niagara Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

Operational and Supply

The favourable year-to-date variance of $148 is a result of timing differences between the anticipated and actual purchase of medical supplies.

Equipment, Vehicles, Technology

The unfavourable forecasted variance of $113 is due to the necessary replacement of Vaccine refrigerators. A funding request has been submitted to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC) but a response has not yet been received.

Federal & Provincial Grants

The favourable year-to-date and forecasted variances of $452 and 361, respectively, is a result of unbudgeted and in-year funding approvals from the Ministry of Health.

Other Revenue

The favourable year-to-date and forecasted variances of $67 and $111, respectively, is a result of unbudgeted secondment revenue, wage reimbursements from union groups and other cost recoveries.

Intercompany Charges

The favourable year-to-date and forecasted variances of $73 and $130, respectively, is a result of delays in operationalizing the new Public Health facilities.
