The Minister of Health and Human Services, Honourable Jamell Robinson, on Friday visited the island of Salt Cay. The ministry says that during his official visit, Honourable Robinson’s first stop was the Primary Health Care Clinic where he met with his health team, followed by a sit-down with District Commissioner, Mrs. Almaida Wilson.
RTC News spoke with Minister Robinson, who said that the visit was a continuation of his planned series of visits to show support for healthcare workers across the country.
The Health Minister had an opportunity to walk on the temporarily constructed bridge before engaging in a full driving tour of the island with DC Wilson. Later in the day, Honourable Robinson noted his pleasure with works being done under the government’s COVID Works programme to enhance the beauty of the environment.
The government has said that this programme ensures that able-bodied individuals on the tiny island are gainfullyemployed and that there are economic opportunities for the people.
Minister Robinson promised to address any outstanding matters under his portfolio responsibility including upgrades to the clinic, completion of the Environmental Health Department building, and the fencing of the landfill site.
We asked the minister how soon residents could expect their outstanding concerns to be addressed.
Honourable Robinson noted that his stay on the island was much too short and promised Salt Cay residents that he would be back.
