Ontario Provincial Police says it’s joining the investigation into alleged fraud at London Health Sciences Centre.
The OPP said Thursday it has set up a dedicated tip line to help conduct the investigation, which began in October 2024 when the hospital reported its concerns to the London Police Service.
Last July, hospital officials said an investigation found fraudulent activity between 2013 and 2024 and alleged previous members of the executive team knew about the practices and failed to act.

The hospital network has filed three lawsuits worth $80 million. None of these allegations have been proven in court.
The OPP said Thursday it’s now involved due to the investigation’s “complexity and the specialized resources required.”

“Even small details can play an important role in advancing the investigation.”
Anyone with information related is asked to call the dedicated tipline at 1-844-677-9413.
