Professor Archibald McDonald, Chairman of the Cornwall Regional Hospital Independent Oversight Committee, has disagreed with Health Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton's assertion that delays on the hospital rehabilitation project are to be blamed on a lack of local expertise.
Dr. Tufton had said Jamaican contractors and project managers were out of their depth and international expertise would be critical to moving forward.
However, speaking Thursday on the Morning Agenda on Power 106, Professor McDonald said he believes local contractors are capable of handling the project.
