It appears that Gregson Joseph, the Ministry of Works employee who was badly burned in an explosion at the Burma Quarry, is still awaiting payment from the Government for continued medical care.
Joseph’s situation reportedly was discussed in Cabinet on Wednesday, October 25, and the Executive agreed – again – that the Government will cover the cost of his treatment.
Joseph suffered second- and third-degree burns in an explosion on the job, on June 26, and was treated at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, from which he was discharged after a few weeks.
While residents were calling for him to be flown out to a burn centre for specialized treatment, the Browne Administration said that was unnecessary as Joseph was warded in a private room and was receiving proper care.
However, the Ministry of Works pledged to assist with his medical expenses.
The Cabinet is now reaffirming this commitment to ensure that Joseph receives the treatment necessary for his full recovery.
Joseph is at home recuperating, but reportedly is experiencing some challenges as a result of the injuries he sustained. (REAL NEWS)
