Overseas Territories Health & Social Care: Turks and Caicos Premier André Ebanks is in Bermuda for the Overseas Territories Caribbean Caucus (8–12 Sept), a forum where OT leaders align on shared policy challenges, including health and social care, climate impacts, and financial services/trade ahead of the UK Joint Ministerial Council in London. Local Governance: Ebanks’ office says Deputy Premier Gary Rutty, Acting Deputy Premier Michael Myles, and Acting Financial Services and Commerce Minister Wayne Panton will cover his portfolio while he’s away. Disaster Preparedness: A UK Royal Engineers crisis response team trained emergency personnel in Turks and Caicos on Grand Turk and Providenciales, including first aid workshops and drills to clear fallen powerlines, strengthening hurricane resilience. Connectivity & Access: Starlink has been granted a 15-year telecom licence in the Turks and Caicos, with fees set out by the Telecommunications Commission; the report says satellite service is independent of Flow and Digicel, while direct-to-cellular will partner with them. Humanitarian Pressure: Rights groups warn that Turks and Caicos, along with the Bahamas and Jamaica, is among destinations tied to forced Haitian returns, adding strain to Haiti’s already limited ability to receive and reintegrate people.
