The multi-million dollar Harrison Point Medical Facility used during the COVID-19 pandemic and which was supposed to be transitioned into a site for medical tourism has been leased by Government to Pendry Development, the entity constructing Pendry Resorts at Six Men’s, St Peter.
Dr William Duguid, Senior Minister responsible for Planning and Development, confirmed this state of affairs to theWeekend Nation pointing out that Pendry was leasing the St Lucy base property, for 18 months to two years, which was the main isolation medical centre during the pandemic, to house its workers and construction equipment.
The company has imported several foreign workers.
Late last year this newspaper had reported that Government was in discussion with about five local entities which had shown an interest in acquiring the property for medical purposes.
Duguid reported that the deal for such had not materialised. (MB)
