Dr. Campbell made the comment on Wednesday as he defended the PNP’s right to criticise those senior officials in the health sector who it believes are not doing their jobs.

He sought to make it clear that the party was not going after civil servants broadly but was instead calling out those it believes are not up to the required standard.
