The number of elderly patients abandoned at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital has been reduced in recent weeks since a dedicated committee has been established.
The update from the Hospital’s Acting Director of Medical Services, Dr. Chaynie Williams during today’s Estimates Debate.
The committee has been tasked with moving some of these patients into the Geriatric Hospital, while others under the alternative care of the elderly programme have been transferred to care facilities.
Dr. Williams says within the last six months, the Hospital has had as many as 40 elder for care patients, enough to fill almost two wards.
