The extensive renovation project at All Saints Clinic is approaching its final stages, with government officials confirming that a formal announcement regarding the facility’s status is imminent. The disclosure emerged during the weekly post-Cabinet media briefing, where Maurice Merchant, Director General of Communications in the Office of the Prime Minister, addressed public concerns about the project’s timeline while affirming substantial progress has been made.
Merchant confirmed the near-completion status when questioned about the clinic’s rehabilitation, stating, “Work has been done. It’s near completion.” He further indicated that an official update from the relevant ministry would be forthcoming, potentially within days.
The Ministry of Works has been overseeing the comprehensive repairs, which address structural and maintenance issues that have accumulated over multiple decades. Merchant emphasized the complexity of these long-overdue improvements, noting that many repairs date back to the early 2000s and cannot be accomplished “at the snap of a finger.”
The communications director explained that the ministry has been systematically working to upgrade government facilities across the board, describing the process as time-intensive but necessary. “The Ministry of Works has been doing its best in trying to get all of government’s facilities up to speed,” Merchant stated, acknowledging both the public’s patience and the methodical approach required for proper infrastructure rehabilitation.
