What’s your priority, Mr PM?

THE EDITOR: Please permit me some space in your newspaper. This is in response to a report on the TV6 news on Thursday June 26, 2003 about the Prime Minister’s intention of using the current Health Centre in Pleasantville as a Community Centre. What are we supposed to do in the mean time? We who are the users of the health centre. Where are we supposed to go? It is cramped already where we do have to go, but what are we supposed to do with no facility available? Not everyone can afford $300 to go a paediatrician or $80-$150 to go to a general practitioner for basic vaccinations for our children and even so, for ourselves.

I am also infuriated by the statement of Mr Manning that they are looking into alternative site for the health centre. He should have had that earmarked and implemented before he even had the thought of turning the existing health centre into a Community centre. Granted yes, having a community centre is a good thing, but I consider the health of our nation’s children and senior citizens more important. I would like to know what exactly are your priorities Mr Manning? I would like to know what you consider to be important?
