To Mr. Prime Minister, V/Fort and the Southern Part of the Island needs a New Hospital. What we have had passing as a Hospital cannot continue as such. We have an International Airport, and we fear, God forbid, something happens that we require a modern and up-to-date facility in a hurry the purpose; a new Hospital was under construction, but was discontinued immediately after the last elections. Shall we plan for the good of all St. Lucians and notwithstanding, visitors to our home land, and I am sure the medical staff would be happy to serve, to work and to help in an improved environment. Thank you Sir.
