Minister of Health Explains Resignations

Concerns have been raised about the departure of several key staffers, including the Drug Inspectorate, at the Ministry of Health and Wellness.  Over the weekend, News Five was informed that a few employees had moved on to the private sector.  We reached out to Minister of Health and Wellness Kevin Bernard who told us, “We have no chief pharmacists but Miss Samira who has been acting in the position and still is.  Doctor Samouge who is the Drug Inspectorate resign to go work in the private sector.  Doctor Fidel Cuellar resigned to work in the private sector.  Miss Agassi Finnegan was seconded to us to address some legal matters but had always said she will go practice her profession in her law firm.  So she is now a private attorney at law, As an update we had no resignations in July, one male RN in August who went to the private sector, and one RN in September who’s contract ended and did not renew so essentially not a resignation”.
