Healthcare accountability: statements and public record

A sourced overview of Dr Dawes' recent public statements on hospital governance and healthcare access.

In September 2026, Dr Alfred Dawes called for an independent investigation into delays affecting the proposed Bellevue Hospital expansion. The Jamaica Observer reported his concerns about procurement oversight and the need for accountability at senior levels. In a separate address at the PNP annual conference on 20 September, he raised concerns about hospital resources, access to surgery, and the cost of healthcare. These are reported positions attributed to Dr Dawes, not independent findings of this website.
