Shake-up ahead for underperforming hospital management

FORT CHARLOTTE, Hanover — Strong action will be taken against the management teams of non-performing public health institutions warns Minister of Health and Wellness Dr Christopher Tufton following a national patient complaints report showing that long wait times remain a primary grievance across the island’s hospital network.

“I am just giving a notice that we are going to be taking stronger action around throughput and the quality of throughput, and Noel Holmes is not going to be an exception. All institutions are going to have that,” stated Tufton during a press conference at the Noel Holmes Hospital in Hanover on Friday afternoon.

Before the press briefing, the minister toured the Type-C facility, which is currently being rehabilitated following Hurricane Melissa last October. During the tour, several patients raised concerns about lengthy wait times.
