    "content": "In my 27 years of experience in the health service - that is since 1991 - I have learnt that societies grow to their full potential through health care and investment in their health services. I, therefore, ask this House to adopt the Report of this Committee which entails the way forward, and not looking backwards to what happened. We want to utilise this opportunity that is ahead of us to learn from past mistakes of the hospital. It has been bedeviled by inconsistency in management and the process through which the hospital is taken care of. That includes the poor budget it gets. I insist that the Ministry of Health should considerably support that hospital’s budget because it is an important asset that has supported our society over many years it has operated. Hon. Speaker, I would like to bring to your attention that there is what we refer to as medical surge. This refers to the ability to evaluate and care for an overly increased volume of patients. That is what is bedeviling that hospital. It is overloaded by the number of patients that come from other institutions nearby, and walk-in patients. They come to that hospital and they stress it. Medical surge refers to the ability to evaluate and care for an overly increased volume of patients that are exceeding the operating capacity of a health care service.
