Between July 29 and August 20, 2026, the Turks and Caicos Islands Cabinet chaired by Governor Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam authorized significant government actions, including a mandate for hospital service transition negotiations, a $1.138 million allocation for a new Providenciales fire truck, and a lease for a Grand Turk cruise terminal.
Officials confirmed plans for a Joint Transitional Committee and an assessment regarding a new Health Services Authority as the government navigates ongoing contractual disputes with InterHealth Canada. Cabinet also approved a lease for a Leisure Space Recreational Area and Cruise Terminal in Grand Turk. Other actions included extending the moratorium on visitor visas for Haitian nationals and appointing Kathy Walkin as interim managing director of the Grand Turk Enhancement and Sustainability Agency until March 31, 2027.
The government has not released a timetable for the hospital transition or details on the Grand Turk terminal development. Officials are currently considering an appeal to the Privy Council regarding arbitration proceedings with InfraCo. Further administrative updates included the reappointment of Pedro Ariza as chairman of the GTESA board through July 31, 2027, and the approval of supplementary funding for overseas long-term patient care. Finally, Cabinet tabled the Supplementary Appropriations No. 1 (2026/2027) Bill 2026 in Parliament, though specific expenditure details for this financial year remain outstanding.
