 The government of St. Louis, who hates, has to find tangible support for the national fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. Minister for Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs, Honourable Moseley-Moseley, on Tuesday, 14th September 2021, during the sitting of the House of Assembly, provided details on the various measures taken over the last year. Honourable Jabbatis told the House that major improvements would have been completing at the respiratory hospital, bringing relief to patients as well as the minister reported that the functioning of the telecommunications system is in place. Critically, the Ministry of Health has increased personnel at the respiratory hospital to ensure the monitoring of COVID patients and those awaiting themselves. Honourable Jabbatis further informed that additional staff will be made available. The system of monitoring from testing to results, to home monitoring of positive cases, to the transfer to the Victoria Hospital if necessary, need to be streamlined and our professionals are meeting today, this afternoon, to strengthen and tighten that system. For, community testing and vaccinations will receive a boost with the purchase of a new vehicle thanks to the Minister for Finance and Prime Minister. For this purpose with staffing, the vehicle will complement another vehicle which is being repaired for the purpose of having a permanent mobile unit for the vaccination and testing around the communities in St. Lucia. We are trying, Mr Speaker, to limit the movement of suspected cases that is from travelling from their homes through our transportation system to the hospital to be tested and sometimes they do not get the tests and have to return on the very bus back to their homes. We are trying our best to take the test possibly even to the homes of suspected cases. To avert any shortage of medical gas the Ministry of Health in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs, take your supplies from the Martinique. We caused a shipment of liquefied oxygen to reach St. Lucia from Martinique urgently just as a backup in the event that our gas at our medical gas at Victoria Hospital got us, got into problems. We had a situation where we had to seek the assistance of the OKEU Hospital and also the Tapion Hospital and I want to take this opportunity to thank the management of the OKEU Hospital and also the Tapion Hospital for working with us. But we got a shipment from Martinique on Saturday and I wish to thank Dr Eugene and Ms Nancy Francis for ensuring that things went well at the ports. Honourable Mosey Jabati says government remains in dialogue with property owners in order to increase the room stock for the team.
