Health centres at Roxborough, Scarborough and Canaan have extended their walk-in clinic working hours.

Secretary of Health, Wellness and Family Development Dr. Agatha Carrington said the new hours will help alleviate long waits at the Scarborough General Hospital.

Persons with minor injuries or medical conditions can access treatment at one of these health facilities after 4 p.m. The new opening hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Scarborough General Hospital, Accident and Emergency Department will remain open 24 hours a day, for emergency cases.
