The cut off date for full restoration of the Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH) in Montego Bay has been extended from September 2026 to March 2027, but Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton is pushing for works to be completed before the end of this year.

The timeline was reiterated by Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton during a tour of the newly restored Catherine Hall Health Centre in Montego Bay.

He said that while CRH’s Accident and Emergency Department (A&E) should be completed by this summer, the rest of the hospital should be finished by the end of this fiscal year.
