Lovell Says All Saints West MP is sleeping on the job,
as clinic has been closed for 841 days
Harold Lovell, United Progressive Party (UPP) Caretaker for All Saints West, has called out the sitting Member of Parliament and the Browne Administration for their failure to restore public-health services in the constituency – a failure that has now stretched to an alarming 841 days.
On April 23, 2023, the Ministry of Health announced the “temporary” relocation of services from the All Saints Health Centre to the Glanvilles Polyclinic. Residents were promised transportation and assured that repairs were underway.
“Today, almost two and a half years later, there’s still no reopening date – and the people of All Saints West are paying the price,” Lovell says. “Elderly residents, parents with young children, and those without reliable transportation are being forced to travel long distances for basic healthcare. This is not just inconvenient; it is dangerous.”
Lovell stresses that the absence of a clinic in a constituency of this size is unacceptable and represents both the Administration’s failure and neglect by the elected representative.
“The MP for All Saints West has been sleeping on the job,” Lovell charges. “He has failed to stand up for his constituents and hold the Government accountable. It should not take 841 days and counting to restore such an essential service.”
Lovell is demanding immediate action from the Ministry of Health – whether through the reopening of the All Saints Health Clinic, deployment of mobile clinics, or the establishment of a permanent replacement.
“Public-health infrastructure is not a privilege; it is a right,” Lovell points out. “The people of All Saints West deserve answers, a clear timeline, and leadership that actually works for us. Our health cannot wait another day.”

I’m so glad that the Honourable Harold Lovell has hit the ground running in exposing Anthony Smith’s lack of action.
How on earth has this former UPP deserter allowed an important health clinic to stay closed for over two years? Scandalous!!!
Harold Lovell’s political strength has always been exposing the weakness of his ABLP opponents, and even more so now, due to the fact he has inner knowledge about the defector in chief and turncoat Anthony ‘Pieces of Eight’ Smith.
Harold Lovell’s REDIVIVUS return is going to show the ABLP that you cannot keep an upright, honest and outstanding politician out of the limelight for long – he’s without doubt the best Prime Minister Antigua have NEVER had!
The best political news of 2025 so far …
Jurassic Park outta order to let Limpy Joe get way

Wrong message m.
Anthony Smith is both the Minister of Health.
Attack The Prime Minister and The Minister of Health for lack of a functioning health clinic.
To attack Smith as an independent politician now, is also to attack Smith as a UPP member and leader.
What Harold needs to do is investigate what it takes to fast track the renovation. Then make a case that if he and UPP is elected it will be done on what ever the fast track schedule says.
It’s a win-win for him in that it could forced the ABLP to complete the work to show they can do it to.
Should that happen then Lovell can take credit for getting them to finish the work and reopen the clinic.

So Harold as a constituent of All Saints West, is now you want to run you know that the client close. This alone can tell that you were never interested in the people of All Saints wellbeing.
We need people that care all the time for people. Not when they are interested in running for politics. So I guess you will be attending funerals and graduations as well.
Anyhow hope you put up a good fight and force the governor to do some serious infrastructure work in All Saints West.
Frankly Speaking, I keep wondering why people like you continue to make comments all you do is expose your ignorance. That’s why we are where we are. Gosh!
