Health Minister Rudyard Spencer is expected to get a report from the Mandeville Regional Hospital on the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the body of a new-born at the facility today.

According to the Ministry of Health, the police were investigating the disappearance of the body of the newborn, one of a set of twins.

The baby's body was discovered missing from the facility's morgue by hospital administrators when the parents turned up to collect the baby's body.

"I want a full report into how the body went missing from the hospital's morgue. We have to find ways to ensure that something like this does not happen in the future, so we need to put measures in place to prevent a recurrence," Spencer said last week, after he ordered an enquiry.
