Attorney David Comissiong, president of the Clement Payne Movement, rejects Dr Carlos Chase’s idea of privatising Barbados’ Queen Elizabeth Hospital. “It is also a socially dangerous statement, for what Dr Chase is urging is that the Government of Barbados, elected to office by the predominantly black and working-class population of Barbados, should engage in a course of action that would––in one fell swoop––wipe out fundamental social and health care rights that the black masses of Barbados fought for in monumental social battles over the past 150 years.”
