-shortage to be resolved in a monthThe late delivery of medical supplies which is currently affecting several Regions is being addressed, assures Minister of Public Health, Dr. George Norton.Government has assured that the current shortage of supplies of drugs for its hospitals will be resolved within a month.Yesterday, with just over a one-week supply of some critical drugs in stock, a Government statement quoted Norton as saying that new purchasing systems for hospital drugs by the new administration have created some delays.He explained that the Ministry of Public Health is in the process of changing the system of sole sourcing to one of an open tender with competitive bidding. “All of that takes time, and we found ourselves in a situation where they could have been stocking out.”Another contributory factor, the Minister pointed out,Jose Calderon Jersey, could have been the time in which the respective Regions advised the Ministry of their individual needs.“The Regions were given their monies to purchase medication. They are supposed to send a list to the Ministry of Public Health so that we can acquire these medications and then they pay by a subvention later. That money might have got to the Region a little late. Also the regional officers might not have been sufficiently informed about the procedure of exactly what the Regions need.”The administration promises to spare no effort in resolving this situation.
