The old Gordon Cummins Hospital has been identified as the site for a respite facility for Alzheimer’s patients.
Plans for the Rock Hall, St. Thomas premises have been revealed by Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Janet Phillips.
She was responding to a question from Member of Parliament for St. Thomas, Cynthia Forde, on when repair work would begin at both the Hospital and the St. Thomas Outpatient Clinic, during today’s Estimates Debate.
Residents at the Hospital were relocated to the St. Philip District Hospital after the laundry and kitchen became inoperable.
Ms. Phillips informed the Lower House while three million dollars had been allocated to refurbish the Clinic, the plan was not to reopen the Hospital.
