A four-member team of experts has begun its investigation into the death of six-year-old Jasher Francois, though it remains unclear whether the medical personnel who administered the drug have been sent on leave.
The probe, commissioned by Health Minister Dr Lackram Bodoe on the instruction of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, is expected to be completed by August 20.
The independent team includes Dr Camanee Lutchman, Consultant Paediatrician at the North Central Regional Health Authority; Claudine Sheppard, a registered nurse with experience in quality assurance; former Northwest Regional Health Authority Chief Executive Officer Dr Elizabeth Persad; and Paediatric Intensive Care Specialist Denelle Singh, who is also an attorney and former Senior Legal Associate at the Children’s Authority.
