This is according to Chief Executive Officer, Michael Khan, who claimed that he has been receiving numerous complaints about the ranks who were stationed at the institution.
The outpost, which is located at the Accident and Emergency entrance of the GPHC on New Market Street has been in operation for several years and was placed there to facilitate quick reporting of matters reaching the hospital which require police intervention.
“We requested that they should be moved because we do not feel they are of any help. We received a lot of complaints from our security guards and we decided to ask for them to be moved,” Khan said.
The ranks who handed over the keys on Thursday to the hospital’s security guards will now be operating from the Alberttown Police Station.
Khan added that the hospital’s security guards will now occupy the outpost.
Meanwhile, a police rank who was stationed at the hospital told this newspaper that the officers who worked there did their best and responded to every report made by patients or staffers at the institution.
