MP deplores conditions at Palms

APNU+AFC MP  Natasha Singh-Lewis yesterday upbraided the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security for allowing the Palms Geriatric Home to deteriorate.

The shadow minister of social services told the 75th sitting of the National Assembly that the Palms are beset by persistent complaints over the substandard conditions the nation’s senior citizens face.

Singh-Lewis during her budget debate presentation was adamant that the touted $1.146 trillion fiscal plan by the government should address the “unaddressed” woes of senior citizens at the geriatric facility.
