In a brief comment, Bermuda Premier David Burt said: “I wish to thank Minister Wilson for accepting this key appointment which adds to her already considerable workload as the Minister of Health. I look forward to working with her to advance the Government’s legislative agenda and continuing our work in building a fairer and better Bermuda. Minister Wilson is no stranger to this task, and I know that she will approach it with her usual dedication and keen desire to improve the lives of Bermudians.”
