  • Contending that it's being cut out of a potential $10 million, a private surgical centre in Regina is suing after a Calgarybased company was awarded a long-term contract under a plan to expand day surgery services.
  • The suit launched by Omni Surgery Centre Ltd. against the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region (RQHR)
  • Health regions in Regina and Saskatoon announced in June that they had picked Surgical Centres Inc., which operates clinics in Alberta and B.C., under an initiative to use private companies to reduce surgical wait times. They are to provide such procedures as sinus operations, dental surgeries, and arthroscopic knee and shoulder repairs

  • At the time of the announcement, Omni president Rob Mitchelson expressed surprise his company's bid for the contract was rejected. Omni had been contracted last year to provide similar services in Regina.
  • In its claim, Omni says it entered into a short-term contract with RQHR in July last year to provide services to reduce surgical wait times under a Ministry of Health initiative. The contract was to end in March this year but was later extended to Aug. 31 and then to Dec. 30.
  • In January, RQHR had issued a request for proposals, seeking applications to provide non-hospital, insured surgical services, running from Sept. 1 this year to Dec. 31, 2013, with an option to renew for two fiscal years.
  • Omni maintains it stands to lose in excess of $10 million over the course of the proposed service agreement to December 2015 because of RQHR's alleged "breach of contract ... or breach of its legally enforceable obligation," according to the claim.
