The St. Philip Polyclinic is expected to reopen next Thursday, August 17.
This follows a meeting between representatives of the Ministry of Health and Wellness, the National Union of Public Workers and the Unity Workers Union, today Friday, August 11, to discuss environmental issues which forced the polyclinic to close its doors yesterday. It remained closed today.
Construction work, which was being carried out at the polyclinic over the last four months to improve the delivery of service, contributed to the environmental concerns.
Chief Medical Officer, Dr. The Most Honourable Kenneth George, said the Ministry has committed to working diligently to address the environmental health matters that have affected staff at the polyclinic and added he was hopeful that the clinic would resume its services to the public next Thursday.
