The Government is set to overhaul Trinidad and Tobago’s construction permitting system, with Cabinet approving the removal of a long-standing public health approval requirement in a bid to cut delays and stimulate development.
Speaking at the post-Cabinet media briefing yesterday, Land and Legal Affairs Minister Saddam Hosein announced that oversight by County Medical Officers of Health (CMOH) will be eliminated from the planning approval process.
“Cabinet today agreed to remove the oversight of the County Medical Officers of Health from the construction planning permit system. This will reduce bureaucratic delays caused by duplication of rules enforced by other government agencies and promote the ease of doing business in Trinidad and Tobago,” Hosein said.
