Amidst industrial action by workers at the Fiennes Institute, Health Minister, Molwyn Joseph announced the residents will be temporarily moved to the Nurses Hostel.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Workers walked off the job Wednesday in protest of the crumbling infrastructure at the government-run institution, which houses the country\u2019s poorest citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister Joseph said the move to the Hostel will happen within two to three weeks.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The building will be \u201cretrofitted in order to overcome the problems that could result by putting elderly people in that facility that is not built in a way to safeguard their health and protect them from being injured\u201d, he explained.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are plans to outfit the Hostel with gates and barriers at the top of banisters, and handlebars for shower and toilet facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The residents will stay in this facility for two months while work is done to repair the Margetson Ward and the old Holberton Hospital facilities.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat would create a more permanent residential facility for the elderly\u201d, the Minister said adding, they will remain at the Margetson Ward \u201cuntil we completely rebuild the Fiennes Institute and this rebuilding will be purposed-built\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s estimated that the total cost of Fiennes will be as high as $5,000,000 dollars to rebuild\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a pledge-donation of $1.2 million US dollars to start Fiennes\u201d, the Minister revealed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He said Cabinet will ensure the additional funding is made available and added Public Works will provide some of the resources to reduce the overall cost to the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
