Health Ministry awaits report on ‘Jingle Bells’ investigations

Ministry of Health is awaiting a report from investigations in relation to a video which was uploaded on social media that features a number of nurses in uniform singing their version of the ‘Jingle Bells’.

Minister for Health Rosy Akbar had earlier confirmed that a team was sent to Labasa last Wednesday to investigate the case.

Akbar had also said that the behaviour portrayed is not typical of many dedicated nurses working in the health system and she is sure the staff involved did not intend to show contempt for their patients.

However, she stresses that there is no excuse for the conduct shown on this video.

The video shows a number of health staff in uniform including some nurses singing “Jingle Bells, Patients Smells”.
