    I wonder if the so call Minister for Health will come up here now ! Imagine Anegada has one nurse and the one present today was an asthmatic, the lady took in with an attack and it had to take a teacher who suffers with the same asthmatic problems to rescue the woman's life ...she was almost dead....and yet them can't see Anegada need two nurses and a doctor living on the island.
