Tarnishing images and losing health war

THE EDITOR: I sense desperation in the vitriolic attack made by the Minister of Health on former members of staff of the NWRHA in his response to letters from the public questioning serial resignations from that organisation in a relative short space of time.

It is interesting to note that the Minister is in the middle of an almighty war with medical personnel yet he finds the time to respond publicly to petty matters with former staff in the most detailed manner. Is he trying to say that because of the non-performance of these persons he has been unable to achieve any recognisable successes in the Health Sector?

Surely not, because they are now history and he is still dealing with a total shutdown of institutions and uncooperative medical staff. In other words, the situation continues to deteriorate. This Minister needs to fight his real opponents and not those of his vivid imagination, because while he is fighting battles and tarnishing images he is quickly losing the war to the detriment of the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
