HALIFAX — Two former children’s hospital executives have been charged with fraud and breach of trust in relation to an expense scandal at Halifax’s IWK Health Centre. Kitch is charged with fraud over $5,000 and breach of trust, while D’Arcy faces charges of breach of trust, unauthorized use of computer and mischief to data. Before joining the Halifax hospital, Kitch was executive vice-president of patient care and chief nursing executive at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. The report also found Kitch performed a review of the Montreal Children’s Hospital, and was compensated with an honorarium and expense reimbursement. But travel expenses were charged to the IWK and not reimbursed upon receipt of payment, it said.
