JOINT STATEMENT by
The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce & Industry
and
The National Insurance Scheme
A team from the National Insurance Scheme led by General Manager, Ms. Holly Greaves and the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) Council met on February 6, 2025, to discuss the challenges being experienced by the business community as it relates to accessing the services of NIS. Among the areas discussed were concerns over the lack of timely disbursements, delays in the issuance of compliance certificates as well as processing of claims, and issues with communication. The Chamber also supplied NIS with a report on the challenges raised by its membership.
The NIS team committed to addressing the challenges that were highlighted and hopes to continue working closely with the Chamber in raising awareness with its membership on NIS’ procedures. The two parties also agreed to meet again by the end of the first quarter of the year to follow up on the resolution of the challenges discussed, and to foster a closer collaboration in a bid to ensure that the interests of the business community are addressed.
