Hospitals Board.

She has been an anaesthetist in Bermuda since 1978, and was trained at Kings College Hospital in London.

Her undergraduate medical education was at Cambridge University.

In her new role, Dr. Jones will supervise the Department of Anaesthesia's quality of care.

Hospitals Board executive director Mr. Hume Martin said Dr. Jones would be accountable to the Chief of Staff.

He added the Board had appointed a chief for each of the "clinical departments'', except the new Department of Paediatrics.

This follows the medical staff reorganisation brought on by the Bermuda Hospitals Board Amendment Act 1991.

PHONE COMPANY APPLIES FOR LICENCE CTS The boss of a cheap long-distance phone service is hopeful of being granted a Government licence and getting back in business.

Mr. Michael Leverock was told by a Supreme Court judge last week his Global Access Bermuda service was illegal because it didn't have a public telephone licence from the telecommunications department.

But yesterday Mr. Leverock, whose service claims discounts of up to 60 percent, said he was in the process of applying for a licence.

"So far the Minister seems to be acting favourably. I think it will take anything from three weeks to a month.

"The sooner we can get a licence the sooner we will be up and running.'' PAINTER FINED FOR DAMAGING HOME CTS A man vandalised a home he had just finished painting in retaliation for not being paid in time for the May 24 holiday.

Calvin Leon Richardson pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court this week to causing damage in the amount of $400.

Sgt. Earl Kirby, prosecuting, told the court that Richardson had been hired to paint a house on North Shore Road. The job was finished on May 21, but the owner of the home was abroad. Richardson, 25, realised he would not be getting paid right away and returned to the home. He covered the west side of the house with graffiti and threw white paint against the kitchen window.

Richardson, who lives in a Salvation Army shelter, told the court: "I took action because I thought I was being taken advantage of''.

Senior Magistrate, the Wor. Will Francis, fined him $900, of which $400 will go to the owner of the house.
