The North Central Regional Health Authority (NCRHA) says âunexpected absenteeismâ is the only reason wards at the Eric Williams Medical Science Complex (EWMSC) in Mt Hope were left with one registered nurse (RN) on the weekend.
The TT Registered Nurses Association, in a social media post on November 2, alleged there was "severe staff shortageâ at the EWMSC.
It added this was a âchronicâ issue facing the EWMSC, and was being made worse by a reduction and restriction of the extra duty pool by NCRHA management.
