A Queens oil company is suing St. Vincent’s hospital, saying it never got paid for nine oil deliveries to the embattled West Village institution.

The hospital owes County Oil Company of Astoria $127,256 for oil delivered between September 2009 and January 2010, according to the lawsuit filed last week in Queens Supreme Court.

The balance owed the oil company is just a tiny fraction of the $5 million to $10 million the hospital loses each month.

Doctors and management at the hospital have agreed to take pay cuts — 20 percent for doctors and 25 percent for executives. The hospital also has asked the health-care workers union, Local 1199, to accept a 120-day 15-percent salary cut, hospital and union officials confirmed yesterday.

“To restore fiscal stability so that St. Vincent’s can continue to provide quality health care for the West Side of Manhattan, many people are being asked to make great sacrifices,” said Mark Toney, who was brought in last week to restructure finances.
