Bostic’s warning

Article by Tre Greaves

Minister of Health Jeffrey Bostic is warning users of the Winston Scott Polyclinic about disrupting its operations when it reopens at noon on Tuesday.

“When you behave in a manner that was displayed over the last two or three weeks, traumatise the staff and then the services cannot be delivered, you may be stopping services being delivered to your friends, family and members of your community. That does not make sense.

“While I am not one who is in favour of denying people access to health, if we have repeat offenders, then we will have to find some mechanism to ensure that the few do not interrupt the flow of the many,” he said.

Bostic was speaking in the House of Assembly on Monday hours after scores of people were turned away in frustration at the Jemmotts Lane, St Michael clinic, which was scheduled to reopen after being shut last week. (TG)
