Wednesday, December 8, 2004 - The Ministry of Health is appealing to members of the public to desist from vandalising public Health Centres on the island. Health officials are particularly concern over recent incidents of burglarising and vandalising at the Ti Rocher Health Centre.

Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Human Services, Family Affairs and Gender Relations, Fedelis William said this was matter of serious concern to health officials: “The Ti Rocher Health Centre has been burglarised and vandalised several times and equipment has been stolen; what we did was to have a meeting with the people of Ti Rocher about the situation”.

The Health Permanent Secretary is however, dispelling rumours being circulated regarding the closure of that health centre: “There is no truth to the rumour that the health centre is being closed; if people are doing this, it is a malicious rumour. We are not going to close the health centre, and I am repeating we are not closing the health centre”.

According to Mr. Williams, all they did was to talk to the Ti Rocher people about the intolerable situation and to encourage them to assist the police in apprehending the culprits.
