WESTERN BUREAU: Jamaica’s failure to construct a public hospital in more than four decades has left the Government without the technical expertise needed to deliver major healthcare projects efficiently, Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness has acknowledged. In a sweeping assessment of the country’s deteriorating public infrastructure, Holness said the prolonged rehabilitation of Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH) exposed a much deeper national problem than delays and cost overruns.
