The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) has requested the removal of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Linden Hospital Complex after he was reported as saying that the nurses regularly abandoned their duties to engage in extramarital affairs. 

“The CEO’s false and deliberately misleading accusations of nurses abandoning their post is most irresponsible, inappropriate, and unprofessional behaviour of a senior public officer,” the union said in a letter to Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony.

CEO Rudolph Small has been reported as telling an online media house that nurses at the LHC sign in for their shifts and then leave to visit their “Sweet Man.”
