The KGV Blood Bank, a private charity partly supported by government grants, is located on the
Caribbean Island of St. Lucia. The blood bank has just finished its operations for September,
which was particularly busy month due to a powerful hurricane that hit neighboring islands
causing many injuries. The hurricane largely bypassed St. Lucia, but residents of St. Lucia
willingly donated their blood to help people on other islands. As a consequence, the blood bank
collected and processed over 20% more blood than have been originally planned for the month.
A report prepared by a government official comparing actual cost to budgeted costs for the
blood bank appears on the following page. (the company on St. Lucia is the east Caribbean
dollar.)
Continued report from the government depends on the blood bank’s ability to demonstrate
control over its costs.
