AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Human Trafficking Response: Jamaica’s 2025 figures show 79 investigations, nine traffickers arrested and charged, and 12 prosecutions—along with expanded victim support including accommodation, counselling, and medical/legal help. Disaster Health & Supplies: CARICOM, led by Guyana, shipped 88 containers of relief for earthquake-hit Venezuela, including water tanks, medicines, food, cleaning supplies, and earth-moving equipment. Special Education Access: A new special education diagnostic centre is set to open in Portland in September, reducing the need for families to travel to Kingston for assessments. Public Health Watch: Westmoreland is seeing an uptick in hand, foot and mouth disease among young children and is stepping up school visits and targeted interventions. Health System Resilience: Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton says assessment work continues on Hurricane Melissa-damaged health centres, with costs expected to be clearer soon after engineering analysis. National ID Uptake: The Jamaica Bankers Association says NIDS is now accepted by banks as government photo ID, with simplified due diligence for lower-risk accounts. Pension Reform: Senate approved pension regulation changes raising private equity investment limits to 7.5%, with a further increase to 10% by April 2027. Workplace Health: A St Ann hairdresser is seeking help for knee surgery after prolonged standing worsened osteoporosis, leaving her wheelchair-bound.
