The Sunday Gleaner reported that the mother and her two daughters were raped by gunmen who broke into their house two Fridays ago.
They were reportedly assisted by the police to the May Pen Hospital in Clarendon because the facility was deemed to be closest to the St Catherine community where the alleged crime was committed.
However, on reaching the hospital, it is alleged that the police were instructed by doctors on duty to take the alleged victims to the Spanish Town Hospital since the incident happened in St Catherine.
It is further reported that on reaching Spanish Town Hospital shortly before 2 a.m. the police were told by doctors on duty that they would have to wait until the next shift starts later that morning.
Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Christopher Tufton, says he has convened a panel, including representatives from the leadership of the South East Regional Health Authority and the Southern Regional Health Authority, to review the incident.
