According to the leader of the opposition, Gough and Figueroa will basically be swapping positions to facilitate the Minister:..

Hon. John Briceno- Leader of the Opposition 
"I have been hearing also that Dr. Figueroa has been very frustrated at the CEO in the Ministry of Health and he is constantly at loggerheads with the Minister of Health; so, we have been hearing that he is going to be removed. The last I heard yesterday was that they were going to switch positions; that he was going to go to NHI and then Dr. Gough is then going to come as CEO for the Ministry of Health. That is what I was told as late as yesterday evening. But we've been hearing it and I am not surprised. It is very difficult to work with a Minister that wants to micro manage and we know why he wants to micro manage everything that is going on in the Ministry of Health; but that too will come to light." 

Figueroa returns to work on Monday.  A press release does not say where he will work.
