Tufton sees silver lining for healthcare out west

WESTERN BUREAU: While western stakeholders are not taking kindly to the news that the Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH), which has been operating below capacity since being hit by a toxic- fumes issue in 2016, will not be restored to full service for at least another year, Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton is nonetheless seeing a silver lining on the horizon. Responding to concerns raised at a Gleaner Editors’ Forum, which was staged in conjunction with the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Friday, the health minister confirmed that completion of the ongoing restoration exercise, which should have ended this month, has been further extended.

Hint of Christmas COVID lockdown

WESTERN BUREAU: Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton says the COVID-19 scrutiny being placed on Westmoreland, the nation’s new epicentre for the coronavirus, could be extended to other parishes as part of a major push to control the outbreak. Describing Westmoreland as “ground zero now”, Tufton said any decision to exert greater control by way of quarantines rests on the trajectory of the numbers of new COVID-19 cases and the threat a spike presents to hospital capacity. “The belt from Hanover, St James, into Trelawny, St Ann, also represents points of concern for us, and a lot depends on what the numbers look like, what the projection says, and how much people comply,” said Tufton at a Gleaner Editors’ Forum held in conjunction with the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Brown: CRH s billion-dollar crisis was avoidable | Lead Stories

Western Bureau: Had there been a tidy transfer between the old and new board installed at the Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH) after the change of government in 2016, indications are that Jamaica could have avoided spending some of the more than $1.2 billion spent on restoration works over the past four years. According to Calvin G. Brown, who was board chairman at CRH when the People’s National Party (PNP) was voted out of office in 2016, he tried to initiate contact with the new board with a view of properly briefing them on the various issues, including the status of the air-conditioning system, but he was not accorded the courtesy.
