Minister for Health Rosy Akbar says there is no time frame to complete the refurbishment of the new Navua Hospital kitchen.
Akbar highlighted this after the question was raised by Opposition member Anare Vadei on when the new Navua Hospital will have a fully operational kitchen.
Akbar says the catering services are still being done from the old Navua Hospital and is not disruptive to their services in terms of catering for patients.
Akbar says the food provided is safe for patients after being questioned by Salote Radrodro on whether the food is in compliance with the standard OHS regulations in Fiji to ensure the quick recovery of patients.
The Health Minister was then questioned by Ratu Suliano Matanitobua on why the hospital opened in the first place without a kitchen.
Akbar says that she did not have an answer for that as the project was fully funded by the Chinese Government.
