The new rates implemented at the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in Bacolod City had been formulated and implemented by hospital chief Dr. Domingo Vega before his transfer, an ambulance driver Willie Dueño of the CLMMRH, workers association spokesman, said yesterday.

Dueño said the changes implemented by the management team, appointed to run the hospital pending investigation on complaints of irregularities against its top officials, focus on rules and regulations and physical set-up. The management team led by Dr. Jaime Bernadas is implementing the rules that Vega failed to execute, Dueño said. Among these, he said, is the monitoring of consumption of oxygen and other medical supplies, and the maintenance of sanitation and cleanliness.

In a press conference, AHW president Emma Manuel said the association is willing to assist the CLMMRH workers in the organizational set up.

The AHW can also help follow up the complaints raised by administrative officer Bryan Baylon on alleged irregularities in the procurement procedures at the CLMMRH, Manuel said.*NAB
