Dear Editor,
A relative of mine was scheduled to receive chemotherapy at the Georgetown Public Hospital, only to be informed that this would not be possible until after the passage of the national budget, since they do not have the necessary medication. One can only speculate how long that may take, given the current reluctance to convene a sitting of the National Assembly.
This situation serves as a sobering reminder to both the Government and the Speaker that while procedural brinkmanship and institutional stalemates continue, ordinary citizens are left to bear the very real consequences. Unfortunately, illnesses do not pause for political impasses, nor do patients have the luxury of waiting for constitutional theatrics to run their course.
