PNM MP Colm Imbert says the issue of expired drugs is a “big problem” in TT.

He made the comment while speaking at the opposition’s weekly media briefing on December 3.

On December 2, Newsday reported on concerns raised by members of Parliament’s Public Administration and Appropriations Committee when they were told $80 million worth in drugs earmarked for the national health system was allowed to remain in storage over a ten-year period at the Ministry of Health until they all became expired and useless.
