Regional Director for the Southern Regional Health Authority, Michael Bent, says that despite having emergency protocols in place, it would be unrealistic to expect hospitals to operate smoothly without adequate manpower.

Mr. Bent’s comment follows yesterday’s island-wide sick-out by junior doctors.

Only 36% of junior doctors employed in the southern region showed up for work.

The junior doctors are upset with the continued delay in resolving issues related to overtime remuneration and retroactive payments.

The industrial action caused hospitals across the nation to cater to emergency cases only.

It also prompted a conciliatory meeting facilitated by the Labour Ministry, after which the junior doctors returned to work.

Another meeting to discuss the junior doctors’ concerns should now be underway.

Speaking with IRIE FM News, Mr. Bent says he hopes normal operations will continue in the region’s hospitals, as disruptions, especially over long periods can have dire impacts.
