PNM's Moruga/Tableland candidate Lisa Atwater has appealed to Prime Minister Stuart Young for improved healthcare for constituents and a fire station for the constituency.

Speaking at a political meeting at the St Mary's Government Primary School in Moruga on April 19, Atwater promised to represent residents' needs to the government.

"Last Friday I was in Tableland and one of the concerns was the fact that the Tableland Health Centre no longer exists and then we in...lower Moruga we have a health centre but it closes. So I will advocate, Mr Prime Minister, Mr Foster and everybody else, that we get a 24-hour access health centre/health facility because we know how important it is."
