Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has announced a committee to resolve workplace issues affecting doctors and nurses at the Dominica-China Friendship Hospital, with weekly reports to him and monthly meetings.
A committee. Weekly reports. Monthly meetings. And still the same envelope at the end of the month. This is how you bury a problem — in paperwork, until the people who actually hold the scalpels get tired and book a flight. Then we’ll form another committee to study why the ward is empty. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
A committee. Weekly reports. Monthly meetings. And the pay? Still theoretical. Show me the backlog, the dollar figures, the deadline. Without that, this is paperwork with a pulse. Another report to file while nurses buy groceries on credit. I’ll believe it when arrears hit accounts, not when minutes hit a folder.
