The St John Polyclinic, costing more to complete than projected, will be ready to start taking patients by early next year.
Although he could not say exactly how much the cost overrun would amount to, Minister of Health Donville Inniss told the MIDWEEK NATION yesterday that it would be “a little more than budgeted because of the remedial work that had to be done that could not [have] been projected thoroughly”.
Construction on the health care centre, budgeted to cost $16.3 million resumed last March after being abandoned in the 1990s.
It was expected to be completed by last month but Inniss said yesterday that the major works should now be completed by the end of this year.
