A Technical Audit undertaken in 2016/17 determined the original St. Jude Hospital site was nearly 80% completed. At the time, an estimated XCD 26 million dollars was required to bring the East [Medical] Wing to a state of completion. Also, operations at the George Odlum National Stadium could have been transferred to the East Wing within 12 months.

That means the people who depend on St. Jude Hospital for medical care and the hardworking medical staff providing these essential services could have been doing so today in more suitable facilities.

The Pierre Administration has taken decisive measures to provide immediate relief to the patients and St. Jude Hospital staff operating out of the Stadium and has announced external works on the original construction site will resume in November.
