    Time for the hospital to go back under the management of government. We do not need a health authority. The whole thing is corrupt. They are getting the money while the people doing the work is underpaid. They are not finding money to train workers for the hospital, but they can find money to bring a Trini lawyer. The executives need to go. They are now reaping the sweet from the sweat and toil of Virginislanders.

    We may have bvi islanders living and working in other countries but you gonna tell me the government can't find some one local to do this job? We have to learn to empower our own. Looking out for our own assist in many ways. Low crime and violence rate, stability in homes and families,low unemployment rate, higher education goals orientations,etc. Let's continue to make the BVI a safe place for all especially now that we may be heading into Independence
