Mental Health Unit Director, Dr Util Thomas was fired in January but was last week informed that she would be rehired and will be posted to the East Coast of Demerara Enterprise Health Centre instead.
A letter from Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Malcolm Watkins officially informed Thomas of the move to rehire her but sources say it was only on the intervention of a former government official.
“Reference is made to Ministry’s letter of even number dated 2022-01-27, whereby you were informed of Administration’s decision to terminate your services within this Ministry as Director, Mental Health Unit with effect from 2022-03-23, inclusive in keeping with Clause 7(a) of the contract which you executed on 2019-08-14,” the letter said.
