Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is now taking steps to have Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI), Fitzgerald Mitchell, brought before the court after he failed to attend a hearing on Tuesday.

Tiffany Stewart, Senior Legislative Counsel to the Houses of Parliament, confirmed that Mitchell was “ordered and summoned” on June 8 to appear before the PAC on Tuesday.

Stewart told lawmakers on the committee that Mitchell was required to “give evidence and produce documents” to facilitate the PAC’s ongoing examination of the findings of a performance audit of the UHWI.
