Completion of CHUM superhospital delayed again
The opening of the Centre hospitalier de l'Universite de Montréal superhospital has been pushed back again. The delay means its first patients likely won't be transferred until late 2017 or early 2018.
Hospital expected to be open by late 2017 or early 2018
The opening of the Centre hospitalier de l'Universite de Montréal superhospital has been pushed back again, according to the consortium Construction santé Montréal (CSM).
The CSM says that the delay is due to "the pursuit of the highest standard of quality."
The delay means its first patients likely won't be transferred until late 2017 or early 2018.
This isn't the first time the superhospital has been subject to delays.
In January, it was announced that the spring 2016 completion date would need to be pushed into the fall.
Health Minister Gaétan Barrette had set Nov. 6, 2016 as the new target date, but he confirmed earlier this month that date would not be met.
