People are stealing from the Harrison Point Isolation Facility in St Lucy.
Head of isolation facilities, Dr Corey Forde, said pillows, sheets, kettles, “you name it” and most recently, a PlayStation were stolen.
He said since more patients were coming to the facility, theft had become a problem.
People were not looking out for fellow Barbadians and visitors who came in after them because they were taking away a comfort, but these things also had to be replaced, either by donations or from the taxpayers’ purse, he noted.
“It is hard for me to say that because I don’t want people not to donate because they think something will be stolen,” Forde said.
Measures are being put in place to combat the practice. (SAT)
