The Opposition Leader is calling on the North Central Regional Health Authority (NCRHA) to clarify the legal basis under which it has the authority to manage the Couva Hospital.
She asked whether the decisions being taken by the management of the NCRHA with respect to the hospital are beyond its legal authority.
The hospital is currently being used to treat covid19 patients.
There are have been heated disputes between doctors and the NCRHA, which had rotated doctors out out of the hospital. The authority has argued both that the medical chief of staff had requested the move, and that patient outcomes had improved as a result.

OPPOSITION senator Wade Mark bashed North Central Regional Health Authority (NCRHA) CEO Davlin Thomas for attributing the high covid19 daily death toll to four doctors who were recently reassigned out of the Couva Hospital and Multi-Training Facility.
This comes after Thomas in a release on Saturday said that since the rotation of the four, deaths at the Couva hospital have decreased by 60 per cent and increased discharges by 25 per cent, in the last eight days.
Mark at a UNC press conference on Sunday, said “What Davlin attempted to do in that release was to accuse the doctors, that he rotated on the excuse of them being burnt out, of murder.”
