And while the PUP record might not want to recall the staggering deficit and the overblown national debt, it will point to the NHI. The NHI has been rolling out it seems in perpetuity since August of 2001. Since then however it has only managed to roll out into the southside of the Belize District with a promise of rolling out into the southern districts. Today the promise of rolling out continued. The Government Press Office is reporting that a plan of action has been set up to deliver quote sustainable, equitable, efficient and effective model of delivering quality health care. But before that happens health professionals will begin in this month to train personnel, introduce guidelines for medical care, improve clinics and facilities, and meeting with relevant groups to inform on NHI registration for obtaining social security cards. When this is done, and there is no indication when it will end, then the NHI will roll out in the Stann Creek and Toledo Districts.
