Chief Minister Says RHA Price Tag Not as Bad as it Could Have Been
The Chief Minister has been speaking in an effort to allay fears that paying for the Health Agreement reprieve is going to cause major problems in the Health Department.
Despite getting the agreement extended it’s different than before in that the UK will not be paying anything towards it leaving the Island to shoulder the 2.8 million pound bill.
DHSS Minister Eddie Teare has said in light of his Department’s already stretched budget it’s going to cause major issues for David Anderson when he takes up his post in April.
The Chief Minister however told Granada Reports it could have been a lot worse.
