Now THIS is what I'm talking about.

Good move Minister. Don't let them try to dictate to you what they want. Do things in the right way.

Good luck.

Mr Richardson, did the right thing

There is more 70 in all area's that need to go home.

Good move, BOARDS, are meant to be changed, it is not a life time "say of non function"

Didn't knw Mr. Richardson was forced out? It sound like he reached that time in his life when he needs to relax more and enjoy life, that's why he resigned ...
well. Being on a board is not a lifetime appointment, so things need to change.
I admire the minister. He seems to do what he says, and keeps or backs up what ie says. Good for you.

Let Robert James clean the mess he and his boss have created and still creating @ Sol in Caybay.
If they need some1 to create a bigger mess @ SMMC he is the right boy

Cornelius needs to makie his position available for taking off all those ol people, handicap, and poor people off the list, give the poor people back their doctor cards, styop coming in the media and showing a nice face and behind the seen you worst that a switch blade, Connie you have 2 faces, you are like a 2 face monster, you are a wolf in sheep clothing, your actions are wicked, you should be ashame of yourself, give the poor people back their lives, they are dying due to your action from worrying anf high blood pressure, God don't sleep and he don't like ugly....

The minister can ask all he wants. SMMC is a private institution. Futhermore i sincerely doubt that government knows more on how to run the institution better than the folks on the board.

Connie can't even row is own boat how he want to row the hospital boat, Connie stop playing your childish games with that gay advice that you getting...

You come back all the time, with this sore a$$ remark amout the minister.
I think you need to explain the case, and let us see if you are right
Too many people just suck, yes I mean SUCK government dry,
Yes I mean on both sides.

@ Batman

You are so right they made all this goverment enteties, just out of reach of the long arm
of the law, and made them cash cows for the rich to become richer.

Laws were meant to be changed.

These businesses belong to the people of Sint Maarten,
No individual thief.

Where was the minister when my nephew died and we complained? Where was the minister for the other cases? Today is Olivacce so he all up. For years, the government acted like SMMC had nothing to do with government and vice versa. Today that he has his own agenda, he is not sleeping (or leroy will not allow him to sleep) thinking of how to get rid of Scot and how to bring in their own hospital.

i have been following all this news about SMMC in the media and i think that the minister should be ashamed of himself. Instead of running to the media to score popularity, he should address the issues at SMMC and ensure that the best health care is provided for the people. If our minister so cared about the people instead of trying to build another hospital (which the local people will not benefit from) he would have seen to it that the hospital gets upgraded and expanded. But you know with our polititians it's all about 'what's in it for me'.

The minister seems to have an obsession with SMMC. Yet Pelican is ongoing for over a year yet the minister of labor did not a thing. He wants that board gone so he can do what he wants. This will not better the medical care for the people. Fix the problems at SMMC before jumping like the jack you are. Have you sat with SMMC and staff to discuss all the issues and to see what measures can be taken. Instead you jumping on a board. The new puppets will only be an extension of you and your uncle doing. Monkey see monkey and monkey will soon get in trouble too. The minister thinks that he will score a popularity vote but it will backfire just right. @helena. obviously you have been wronged at some point and time. The wrong doing will come to and end. Hold fast.

OLD SKOOL POLITICS AT ITS BEST. THE NEW RAPING OF A YOUNG NATION BY THE NEW BREED OF NASTY POLITICS BY THE Pa** ON POLITICIONS. YOU NEITHER YOUR PARTY DID NOTHING FOR HEALTH CARE UNTILL MONEY WAS INVOLVED FOR YOU. THIS IS YOUR TURN TO GET RICH OFF OF THE PEOPLE. WHEN ALL THIS IS SAID AND DONE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE BUT REMOVE A BOARD TO SCORE POINTS. FAKE MAN.

WELL SINCE ST MAARTEN PEOPLE LIKE TO TALK SO MUCH.DEAL DONE.COUNTRY ST MAARTEN FLAG WILL GET A PARROT ON IT.CHECK IT OUT ST MAARTEN DAY.BUNCH OF COWARDS

I think its good what he is doing. Scot is in control which shouldnt be. this man travels back and forth to Holland where his family lives and is traveling on the hospital money. How can he do a job while he is so oftn gone. Plus he rules the current board, he have them in his hands and they are all scared of him. It's time a new one comes in effect and do what is necessary. The gov needs to step up and get this man out of the hospital. He thinks he is unstoppable!!!! only GOd is. It;s time for change and he is that change. It's time for a new hospital with a person who is understandable and not always think he knows it all and don't listen to the people who works for him. He doesn't listen and he is a complete hog!!!!!!!! he don't care about the ppl of SXM because he thinks we are lower than him. Let the man go and appoint a new board and a new director. Give jack it's jacket Minister de Weever is stepping up to the plate and doing a job that needed to be done for years now. It's not abut who died now or before. It's about an a** whoe running a show and it's our show not he one man show. We are the tax payers, we should have a say, and with Scot we don't.

get that flag ready for st. maarten day. Put on it too a clown and a puppet and metal bars. Tell us where you going to fly it.

Minister Deweever has his little hidden agenda, we need to hear Minister of Labor Deweever step up and also deal with the Pelican isue, deal with the short term contracts, deal with the Italians only Hiring young ladies as Casino Dealers, deal with the old people dying because of no doctor cards, deal with the poor people and handicap being taken off of the onderstand list, deal with the waste of money you spending on those help desk and when people go there they can not get no help from these so called help desk because of some dragon woman Ida is the boss there who they claim has her workers in a mental terrorizing zone...... those is the things you got to deal with

@ Good Job;

You are so right. I was just thinking the same thing. Scot hand picks the board members and this should not be. CONFLICT OF INTEREST!
Scot may have gotten the SMMC out of the read as many believed. But we all know that all he did was what we have been asking him to do for years, and that is to stop having the storeroom order the same type of supplies every month from 5 or 6 different companies. Stick with the least expensive and use and alternate supplier when necessary.

Now the money she saves by taking our advice, is going into his pocket, paying for airline tickets to and from Holland just about every 2 months and to keep the board members mouths shut, he increased the board members fees without authorization from government.

The always sick jacka** upstairs that is paying the bills to the suppliers and all of Scot personal bills that she listing as miscellaneous. She is so dumb and have no idea of accounting and if he say issue a check for Tom Dick Mary and Paul, she does and calls the transaction miscellaneous. Some body should send her to Dosoe Accounting.
She is very good at one thing and that is taking people business and having it all over the SMMC. Scot hates the skinny ugly jahova wickedness **tch but she is good for his business.

De Weever you on the right track and don't let the devils at that Shitty SMMC try to stop you.

Me and my family leaving for for Holland next week but a will hear a lot more about the wickedness that going on at the SMMC.

Minister Cornelius De Weever and Dr. Best is is not 7 wrongful deaths at the SMMC. Me and all them other nurses the fake doctors and SCOT know about 13 so far. And this includes 3 babies. GOD DON'T SLEEP.

i am adding to your list. the minister needs to deal with MAHO and great bay hotel bringing in all they jamaicans to work. Thats people out of work just like pelican because jamaicans come in. No wonder the people who here can't get jobs nor keep jobs for long. He allowing this because they companies got to fund his campaign in future. The labor controllers don't even know how to control since he gone in there. They afraid of controlling the wrong businesses. it is true the casinos needs controlling. But campaign money more important. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. He’s no different than the same Dr. Scot. Glorified scams.

THAT'S WHAT THAT DE WEEVER IS. PEOPLE DON'T LET THEM GET TO YOU JUST DO WHAT EACH MAN HAVE TO DO,IF YOU HAVE TO THIEVE DO SO ,IF YOU HAVE TO KILL DO SO, IF YOU HAVE TO SELL DRUGS DO SO, IS BECAUSE THESE NASTY P. MIMISTER NOR THE MINISTERS ISN'T F..KING WITH US THE POOR...IF IT BY F..KING PUTTING VODOO ON ONE OF THEM SO LET IT BE ,BUT SOMETHING IS GIONG TO HAPPEN TO ONE OF THOSE BIG MOTHERF..KER. :sad: :sadEOPLE PLS STOP THE VOTING LETS F..K THEM UP FOR THE NEXT VOTING ...SET OS NASTY MOTHERF..KERS

very good job!! keep it up...

dr de Weever /Minister de Weever u d doing a good job u can' t please everybody. Pelican problem and Maho problem was there before u became minister. I agree please do something for t he disable there should be a separate funds for the disable and not onderstand that must change.

Let us be honest, Whether we are talking about labour issues at Maho, Doctor cards for people, illegal workers coming in St.Maarten, these things have all been going on for years and years. As far as I know the Pelican issue which seems to be in courts still the MINISTER would have to let the justice system finalize everything. We in St.maarten are so frustrated with the many problems in every sector, we want solutions and action now.
We must all recognize that before you attack a particular problem, you must first be able to see the end. And it starts with consulting with your lawyers to see if the change you want to bring about is legal, visible, and how it will affect everyone, also financially.
For the Minister to go out there like a cowboy and try to change or fix everything one time, is not only irresponsible, but he surely would not get any support from government. So far he is acting responsibly by following protocols and procedures, all taking into account the legal ramfications. A mean ask anybody what the back of the Labor department looks like. Files upon files upon files, and nobody ever touches them, they don't even know what is in them, and they would not know where to start if you ask them for a particular file.
In the case of the hospital, one must realize that based on the draft report we saw from the inspectorate of health, the all of the inside scoops we been hearing, some board members of the supervisory board finally admitting that a change must come because they tired of being treated like children, all this and many more which is yet to come out, THE MINISTER, who is ultimately respeonsible for health care, MUST STEP IN AND DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!
People are complaining about they not getting doctor cards ect... but when this same DR SCOT used to work by the health department, he brag how he saved the government a lot of money, but he never mention how many people died because he refused to refer them abroad. But ofcourse he does not love St.Maarten like his father does so what the hell, if another St.Maartener did not make it. On his dying bed he will see all these people he did not give a fair chance to live.
St.Maarten people need to get more involved, request the facts as we have an "Open government", and become active in solving problems, not only writing on blogs

The buck stop with Min Deweever, and if something is wrong then he is to blame, and he should resign and go home, any other country that would be the case, only in st.maarten not, any self respecting "man" would resign and go home..."oooppps that might be the problem"...Min Deweever go home ,...do like Rhoda and go home, please go home and leave us alone, you are killing the poor people and advantaging the handicaps and cause bllod pressure to go up with the old people who have diabetes....lord Connie Go home nuhh

it is not a issue of being a OLIVACCE it is the way you approch things and deal with the problem
when the OLIVACCE'S take this issue at a higgher level it was not only for the death of Ruth OLIVACCE but for the well being of this contry and it's people.You know what's the problem of our people we will never reach any where because of our mentality we are to personal and narow
minded.This OLIVACCE act is an act of concern not only for the OLIVACCE's but for ST-MAARTEN

He had a very nice lady working with him she could not take the things that was going on in his office she was a very help full person put herself out of the way to help you The poor girl had to leave or she ask for a transfer to another office. Now he pick 2 persons we do not even know where they come from but for sure they are not for here or because he did not want to get one of his own to do the job coming in people house and the first thing they told a lady oh you have a beautiful house ad then started questioning her she had to let them know she had to give up her apartment and go and live with her daughter that is the way he love his St Maarten people but GOD do not like ugly.

all of a sudden government have found a sudden interest in the hospital open your eyes people why the sudden interest all of a sudden I haven't heard mr de weever mention anything about the expansion of smmc or ways to helping the people of sxm! I believe if he is interested in either one we would be hearing more about it all am hearing is politics!! everyone is looking out for themselves and how to put extra cash in their pocket if mr de weever is not looking out for smmc and the people best interest its best to keep his mouth shut because he is starting to looking very guilty!! LEAVE THE PIE ALONE MR HEALTH MINISTER!! :sad:

Oh .... my .... goodness. ;-) ;-) ;-)

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I agree with "I AM NO FOOL" when he/she says: ..."all am hearing is politics!!".

As I mentioned before, elections is drawing near and it is "break up time".
So start bashing your coalition partners since IF they do any positive it will look bad on the other's behalf.

You poor pathetic people. I would like to see the Minister leave it all alone and leave you all up to yourselfs to suffer the consequences. For once in your lives, use your brains and stop talking nonsense.

With reference to those who keep posting about the elderly and handicaps. Why not take your complaints to the "Ombudsman" directly, since you have a problem with a Govt. department/Minister. That office is the one to handle all complaints ref. Govt. instances.

But remember to take along all the proof that those persons did meet the requirements for aid, since you will start blaming the "Ombudsman" for being wicked also, if she have to tell you that you do not meet the requirements.

Until you show proof of all the unjust done, no one will take you serious. Anyone can complain all they want but does not mean that anyone have to believe you or that your complaints are true.

What I DO believe is that ...... You have started campaigning for your favorite political party and that is all you can find on this Minister to talk about. But .... is it true????

Anyhow, In this case it won't work. The Minister was not elected, he was appointed. He is no politician. So your threats about votes won't frighten him one bit. (just like Duncan, Tuit and Pantophlet ... all appointed, not elected). ;-)

Just incase you didn't notice the people have been suffering the consequences and the people will continue to suffer. The health minister is looking out for himself and his own shortcomings. St. Maarten will see that when the Olivaccee family take it to court. To make matters a little clearer for you. The minister was not elected but have no choice to run next election not forgetting that it is the DP in the first place that did the SMMC set up and then ignored it all those years. The minister cleaning his party mess. By the way changing a board will not benefit the SMMC nor the public. It is not the board that doing operations. It is not the board that giving injections. It is not the board that is doing the billing. The SMMC has been begging for years including after 10-10-10 and the staff too was ignored. So today the buck stops at government. de weever is a extension of Leroy and he poppy show and it showing clearer than the north star on a bright night. Government yesterday and government today failed the same way the SMMC failed. That is why de weever have to react this way. He saving his skin.

Deweever is going down the same road like Rhoda kicking and screaming and forgetting that the people the they insulting and dregrading and iltreating is those same people that is looking on and listening, and 2014 he and his party with pay the price for his actions now, Connie has become heartless, power gone to his head just like Rhoda, they does get carried away, but they forget the same people you walk all over on your way up is the same people that you will encounter on your speedy way down, Deweever the people are hurting can't you hear them, stop taking bad advice and let your heart guide you and do the right thing, the writting is on the wall, an that writting do say anything good about Connie deweever, stop being a wolf in sheep clothing, what is in darkness must come to light dude, stop abusing the poor, stop abusing the handicap, stop abusing the elderly and stop abusing your workers....
