The Northeast Regional Health Authority (NERHA) has reportedly agreed on actionable timelines for addressing issues facing medical records workers at the St. Ann’s Bay Regional Hospital in St. Ann.

The Union of Technical Administrative and Supervisory Personnel (UTASP) and NERHA met yesterday to discuss the matter.

The workers had called in sick over concerns about their health, stemming from deplorable working conditions.

Earlier this month, a fire reportedly damaged a section of the medical records department, resulting in the staff not having an area to store their personal belongings and no designated bathroom facility.

Providing an update on yesterday’s meeting, UTASP President, St. Patrice Ennis said following the discussions, the workers are encouraged that the issues will be addressed in a timely manner.
