PRIME Minister Dr Hubert Minnis clashed with opposition members in the House of Assembly yesterday about whether the children’s ward of Princess Margaret Hospital was repaired after Hurricane Matthew damaged the facility in 2016.

Dr Minnis, during his budget contribution, said the ward was severely damaged and had to be closed. “Instead of addressing the damage to the children’s ward,” he said, “the PLP went on to spend millions of dollars on Carnival in Nassau and Freeport. They allocated $12m to Carnival, however, went on to spend $25,360,044. Apparently the PLP placed a greater priority on partying than they did on sick children.”
