Minister of Public Health Volda Lawrence has denied that the Ministry has rented a bond in Princes Street and that medical supplies stored in seven rooms at the Ocean View Hotel were damaged due to termite infestation.
Answering questions posed by Opposition Member of Parliament Dr Frank Anthony on the rental of buildings during the consideration of the budget estimates on Thursday evening, under the heading, policy development and administration, Lawrence said that the controversial Sussex Street bond is no longer being rented by government.
Rental of buildings under policy and administration for 2019 is budgeted at $165 million compared to last year which was in the sum of $180.3 million.
