Minister of Public Health, Social Development and Labor (VSA),
Hon. Richinel Brug, is pleased to announce that the next Minister in Your
Neighborhood session will take place on Friday, August 29, 2025, from 2:00 PM
to 5:00 PM at the Dutch Quarter Help Desk, Bryson Plaza.
This ongoing initiative reflects the Minister’s commitment to bringing government
closer to the people, creating opportunities for open dialogue, and offering direct
support to residents.
“I encourage residents of Dutch Quarter and surrounding areas to take
advantage of this session to share their concerns, ask questions, and receive
guidance on services provided by the Ministry,” said Minister Brug.
To ensure a holistic approach to addressing community matters, a
representative from the National Employment Service Center (NESC) will also be
present to assist with employment-related inquiries and opportunities.
The Minister in Your Neighborhood program is held on the last Friday of every
month in different districts across the island. To date, six successful sessions
have been hosted, with the most recent in St. Peters. Looking ahead, the Ministry
is considering Cay Bay as a potential location for an upcoming session.
Minister Brug emphasized that all residents with VSA-related issues are welcome
to attend. While the sessions focus on matters under the Ministry of VSA,
concerns requiring inter-ministerial input will also be noted and, where
necessary, referred to fellow ministries for follow-up.
“These sessions are about listening, engaging, and finding solutions together. By
bringing government directly into the districts, we strengthen our ability to serve
the people effectively,” Minister Brug concluded.
