| In other crime news - this one is at the intersection with governance. Recently The Ministry of Health and Wellness was forced to launch an investigation into a case of misappropriation of funds that occurred at the Southern Regional Hospital. We were told that one person has since been charged. We asked the Minister about this today.
Kevin Bernard, Minister of Health and Wellness
"There was an allegation that was made in fact I can't tell you when I got the report. I got the call. We started an investigation and I asked the CEO to look into the matter. We found that there were some improper things done at the Southern regional Hospital. However, I cannot speak to the issue because it is in, it is going to be in the court. and so I don't want to divulge anything at this point in time that will affect us in terms of this case. All I am saying is that we did our investigation and the matter is now in the hands of the police who will take the matter to court and from there, then we can provide a better response."
Our reports say the amount missing is 10,000 dollars.
