U.S. Trustee Judy Robbins is raising questions about how El Paso Children's Hospital wants to spend money, according to court documents obtained by KVIA.com yesterday. In recent weeks, both the county and University Medical Center have complained about Children's expenses during bankruptcy. Robbins is objecting to Children's hiring of New York investment banking firm Miller Buckfire & Co. Children's says the firm will help it find a third-party to buy or affiliate with the hospital. Robbins said that it is unclear if Miller Buckfire will also provide financial advice. She also questioned why it needs to be paid $50,000 per month, in addition to other fees. Robbins is asking the judge to deny Children's request, unless the hospital provides more answers.
