View Royal’s chief operating officer told Daily Hive that they’re currently working with law enforcement on the situation.
“We are working with the authorities to review the matter and ensure patients who may have had contact with Ms. Cleroux are provided with the information and support they need,” said Fatima Fazal.
Cleroux had been charged with fraud over $5,000 and personation with intent at BC Women’s Hospital. Her first court appearance is scheduled for January, but she is to remain in custody until that happens.
“We don’t yet know how many people in Vancouver may have received treatment from the fraudulent nurse, but we’re working with the Provincial Health Services Authority to identify patients who may have had contact with her,” said VPD Constable Tania Visintin at the time of her charge in November.
Cleroux was also accused of pretending to be a nurse in Ottawa at some point in the last year.
Daily Hive has reached out to Westshore RCMP for more information.
