Early registration for the National Prescription Drug Plan is expected to begin next week Monday, said Minister of Health Dr. Hubert Minnis yesterday.

"Eligible groups in this first phase, some 30,000 to 35,000 [people], are urged to register for membership in the plan as soon as possible, so they can access the benefits when the plan comes on stream in April," said Dr. Minnis.

Extended hours of operation this weekend at NIBs Jumbey Village Local Office
The National Insurance Board remains committed to continuous improvement of service delivery, and to meeting – indeed, exceeding – customers' expectations. In this regard, the public is advised that on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7, NIB will extend its hours of operations at its Jumbey Village Local Office, located in the Clifford Darling Complex on Blue Hill Road. Persons who recently claimed and qualified for Unemployment Benefit, including those recently laid off from Bahamar, are encouraged to take advantage of these extended hours to collect their Unemployment Benefit payments. The extended hours of operation are 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. this evening, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow.
IMPACT OF MINIMUM WAGE ON NATIONAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS
The Government of The Bahamas has announced that there will be an increase in the Minimum Wage effective August 15, 2015. In this regard, the National Insurance Board advises employers that for all workers impacted by the change in the minimum wage, there will be a corresponding increase in contribution payments for the month of August and thereafter.
