FREEPORT, Grand Bahama – The government will spend $1.9 million in the next two to three weeks to purchase the Island Palms Resort to accommodate the expansion of Rand Memorial Hospital, Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham said Saturday night.
Ingraham was speaking during the opening of the Free National Movement’s (FNM) Marco City constituency office.
At the unveiling of the construction upgrades at Rand Memorial Hospital in January, Ingraham said that when the time was right the government would purchase the Island Palms Resort, demolish the structure and expand into the property.
Minister of Health Dr Hubert Minnis added yesterday that before anything is done with the new space, a utilization survey would have to be completed.
The survey would allow the government to properly ascertain what the hospital needs presently and futuristically, Minnis told The Nassau Guradian via telephone.
