Patients at Winston Scott Polyclinic were left dissatisfied over the length of time they had to wait to access medication and to see the doctors on Monday.
Patients were waiting under the tent stationed outside the Ladymeade Gardens, Jemmotts Lane, St Michael health facility, with some complaining about the remnants of ash still circulating from the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano in St Vincent.
Some people said they had been waiting since 10 a.m. and after midday had not been able to access any type of medical service.
When contacted, head of the Barbados Drug Service, Maryam Hinds, said the matter had been brought to her attention, but she was unaware of the specifics and would have to investigate.
