Health Minister Dr Lackram Bodoe said there was no disruption to critical medical services at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC) in Mt Hope following an alleged hour-long power outage on November 6.

Speaking at the TT Revitalisation Blueprint event at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s, Dr Bodoe said he had been in contact with North Central Regional Health Authority (NCRHA) chairman Dr Tim Gopeesingh, who confirmed that backup systems functioned as intended.

“There was no impact at all. Hospitals always have a standby backup supply, and I’m informed backup supply services were able to continue,” Bodoe told reporters.
