The regional audit chamber of Reunion Island made public the recommendations addressed to the Department at the end of October, in direct charge of the management of the Irénée-Accot thermal establishment in Cilaos.
Every year, the thermal baths receive a balancing subsidy from the community. The magistrates point out the absence of a strategic project while the activity of the establishment records good dynamics, both for healthcare services on medical prescription financed by Health Insurance and for fitness and well-being services, at the expense of customers. The CRC recommends that the Department adapt the organization of the establishment to support the increase in activity, ensuring in particular to “account for all expenses and income in its annexed budget to exhaustively trace the real costs of the establishment and facilitate its management”. The financial jurisdiction notes in particular a lack of supervision regarding royalties, including the bottling activity attributed to the company operating Cilaos thermal water.
