It is with great regret and deep concern that I take the opportunity to highlight the misfortune of my car being stolen from the southern entrance staff car park of the Eric Williams car park on Friday 17th September, 2010 while attending a staff meeting pertaining to the Ministry of Health’s Virtual Health Library project.
When this meeting ended and I went to retrieve my vehicle at approximately 2.00 pm, I was unable to find my vehicle. After walking thorough out the entire Southern area of the car park, it became apparent that my vehicle was stolen.
The subject of my deep concern does not lie solely in the fact that my car was stolen, but the scant courtesy that this incident was given by Allied security and Mr. Adesh Deonarine; Head of the North Central Regional Health Authority.
The fact that I was asked to display my staff ID upon arrival at the Eric Williams car park led me to believe that the area where my car was being lodged provided secure parking particularly since I demonstrated that I was a member of staff.
After a meeting with the Head of the North Central Regional Health Authority on Monday 20th September, I grew more concerned at the way Mr. Deonarine handled my complaint. In the midst of dealing with the financial loss that I suffered, Mr. Deonarine stated that, “I may be in some alliance with criminal persons”. He further stated that while it is my right to seek redress on the loss, “I should not damn the bridge that I crossed”.
Subsequently, in another meeting with Allied Security on September 23, 2010 Mr. Selvonne Mitchell; administrative head of allied security met with me. After conveying my interest in securing redress for this inconvenience, Mr. Mitchell stated emphatically that, “…the possibility of traveling existed so that the car could not have been stolen [and that] Allied security has the contract for the past 5 years and within this time many cars have been stolen…and their job is not to secure every car in the car park”.
It is based on these facts that I have decided to bring my unfortunate incident to your attention. It is quite disturbing that a security firm who has held the security contract for the North Central Regional Health Authority can boast of many cars being stolen from this facility and no instruments have been put in place to improve these incidents. It is also disturbing that a person upon visiting or transporting an ailing person to the hospital (and in my case attending a staff meeting) also has to be concerned with the security of their vehicle while on these premises.
It is against these factors that I decided to take the initiative to outline what appears to me to be negligent and nonchalant actions of the persons responsible for security at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex.
