Minister of Health Molwyn Joseph has indicated his disagreement to the new parking policy at the hospital.<\/p>

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

He told the Cabinet that the Board of the Mount St. John Medical Center (MSJMC)\u00a0 made a “unwise” decision to limit parking in the Hospital\u2019s parking lots to its workers only, during certain hours of the workday.<\/p>\n

The Minister reported that he was informed after the policy was put into effect, during his absence from the state, and that the Board Chairman indicated upon his return that the legislation allowed the Board to make these decisions independent of the Minister of Health.<\/p>

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

The Minister is of the view that the treatment accorded patients and their families who drive to the MSJMC is poorly reflected by the Board\u2019s decision.<\/p>

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

The Cabinet authorized the Minister to hold discussions with the Board in a determination to change that policy.<\/p>\n
