A war of words has developed between attorneys representing University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) CEO Fitzgerald Mitchell and the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament.

The row has arisen after the CEO’s legal counsel demanded an apology from both the committee and its chairman for comments he made about Mitchell at a meeting in late April.

However, the PAC and its chairman are seemingly not perturbed by the demands made by Mitchell’s legal counsel for an “unequivocal apology”.
