Minister for Health Sen. Hon. Mary Isaac met with staff for a briefing of the work currently being undertaken.
Newly sworn in Minister for Health and Wellness, Sen. Hon. Mary Isaac, reported to work on Wednesday, June 15, just hours after being officially sworn in, to meet with her Deputy and Permanent Secretary for a brief overview of the work currently being undertaken.
The minister also exchanged pleasantries with the staff and spoke of her expectations and plans for the ministry.
“I am hoping we will be able to finalize many of the projects that have already started. We have, for instance, the new hospital. I am hoping we will be able to move to the new hospital because I know that the Victoria Hospital is in a deplorable state. I also hope that we can bring Saint Jude Hospital on board so that we can move out of the stadium and give the stadium back to sports, and [I hope] to also conclude a few of those things that are already in the pipeline.”
Additionally, Sen. Issac looks forward to an amicable relationship with staff of the Ministry of Health and Wellness.
“I am a people person. I already know a lot of the staff and I hope we can continue the type of relationship that I already have with them. I don’t really like this stuck up minister sort of thing, so I think as we get more comfortable with each other, then we will decide on the way forward.”
