A Partnership for National Unity member and shadow Health Minister Dr George Norton yesterday painted a bleak picture of the health sector during his budget address and charged that a major project at the GPHC was already showing signs of decay.
Addressing the National Assembly he said “It is uncomfortable for some to hear that the US$8M that was spent for the inpatient facility at the Georgetown Hospital which is little over one year old seems to be crumbling already”. Norton stated that if the GPHC was in such a decrepit state that it is no surprise that other health facilities are faring no better.
Norton stated that the inpatient facility had a crumbling roof and moisture damage was wreaking havoc on the foundation.
