NATIONAL Security Minister and Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Stuart Young says the Community Recovery Committee (CRC) has been hard at work on its mandate to address at-risk communities in TT since it was formed last year.
The committee, in a media release on Wednesday, said it met with two teams from the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) in a virtual meeting on Tuesday. It said the meetings were held to discuss, agree on and plan projects to enhance and develop communities in East Port of Spain.
Princess Elizabeth Centre needs a Santa
Jan Sirjusingh, CEO Princess Elizabeth Centre. -
It seems astonishing that the Princess Elizabeth Centre is still fighting to keep its operating theatre going.
The centre provides surgery and specialised care that targets children living with disabilities in TT and the wider Caribbean.
It functions as the medical arm of the Princess Elizabeth Home established as a gift from Princess Elizabeth, and established in law in 1953, the year of her coronation as Queen Elizabeth.
The current medical facility opened for service in 1988, and relocated the operating theatre to the upper floor after floods damaged an earlier incarnation of the specialty hospital. The centre is built on land that has become flood-prone and suffered annual flooding since 2003, with major events in 2003 and 2011.

For over 50 years, doctors, nurses and therapists of the Princess Elizabeth Centre have been helping hundreds of children of the Caribbean overcome and cope with their disabilities through surgery and specialised care.
But its efforts to construct a modern operating theatre, with surgical wards, recovery room and prep rooms under one roof has hit a snag.
Although work is far advanced on the two-storey structure housing in a building located at southern end of the Ariapita Avenue complex, the centre needs another million dollars to complete the construction and anticipates that it would be ready for business by April next year.
