Dr Sonia Browne resigns from Ministry of Health and Wellness

Minister of State in the Ministry of Health and Wellness Dr Sonia Browne has resigned.

In her letter of resignation, which was shared with Barbados TODAY on Saturday morning, Dr Browne cited “personal and professional matters over the past several weeks,” as her reason for stepping away from the post.

Dr Browne, whose letter is dated January 4, had been appointed two years ago to take special responsibility for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH).

The letter reads: “Please accept this letter as my formal notice of resignation from the post of Minister of State in the Ministry of Health and Wellness with immediate effect.

“The last two years in the post have contributed to my professional development and I owe you a debt of gratitude for this.

“However, after careful consideration of  personal  and  professional  matters  over  the  past  several  weeks,  I  have concluded that it is in my best interest and that of the constituents of St Philip North, to continue public service in my role of Member of Parliament outside of Ministry.

“Again, thank you for the opportunity and I remain ready to perform in another capacity if required.”
