The State has been ordered to pay $370,000 in compensation to a medical laboratory technician whose transfer to a regional health authority was delayed for over 16 years.
Delivering a judgment late last month, High Court Judge Avason Quinlan-Williams upheld Charmaine Quashie’s case, alleging that her constitutional rights were breached by the protracted delay.
According to the evidence in the case, Quashie joined the public service under the Ministry of Education in 1995 before transferring to the Ministry of Health.
