News­gath­er­ing Ed­i­tor

Lisa Agard has re­signed from her po­si­tion as Chair­man of the North­west Re­gion­al Health Au­thor­i­ty (NWRHA). Con­firm­ing the news to Guardian Me­dia when asked when ex­act­ly she re­signed, Agard briefly said, “Oh, weeks now,” but de­clined to com­ment fur­ther on her fu­ture plans.

Min­is­ter of Health, Ter­rence Deyals­ingh, con­firmed the res­ig­na­tion in a state­ment, say­ing, “Yes, she has re­signed. No rea­son was giv­en.” Deyals­ingh added that the Cab­i­net had al­ready agreed on a new ap­point­ment, though the name of the new chair­man would be made pub­lic on­ly once the for­mal in­stru­ment of ap­point­ment had been re­ceived.
