For over 50 years, doctors, nurses and therapists of the Princess Elizabeth Centre have been helping hundreds of children of the Caribbean overcome and cope with their disabilities through surgery and specialised care.
But its efforts to construct a modern operating theatre, with surgical wards, recovery room and prep rooms under one roof has hit a snag.
Although work is far advanced on the two-storey structure housing in a building located at southern end of the Ariapita Avenue complex, the centre needs another million dollars to complete the construction and anticipates that it would be ready for business by April next year.
A Bill outlining amendments to borrowing powers for the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) and the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) was passed with amendments in Parliament.
The legislation, titled ‘The Miscellaneous Amendments (Powers of Statutory Authorities and Matters related to certain Boards) Bill, 2020’, was committed to a Committee of the Whole Senate for consideration.
According to the Bill Essentials, the Bill would amend Section 21 of the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission Act by mandating that T&TEC obtain approval from the Minister of Finance rather than the President, to borrow or raise capital.
The Bill also seeks to amend the Water and Sewerage Authority Act by increasing the number of Commissioners on the Authority from nine to 11 and allow WASA to issue securities to raise money to meet financial obligations, subject to the Finance Minister’s approval.
