The Department of Health has said in a statement this evening that it is in “the final stages of recruiting contractual care workers for Gozo General Hospital.”

According to the MUMN elderly patients in Gozo General Hospital are being left in beds and not placed in armchairs, because the hospital is still short of 22 carers which MUMN had been requesting for for the past months. The MUMN requested the help of the Prime Minister to intervene in the matter.

The Department of Health said that the contract for care workers has been adjudicated. The contractor is currently shortlisting candidates who should be engaged in the coming days.

“This continues to show the commitment of government to invest in the human resources ensuring the best possible care for elderly patients at Gozo General Hospital,” the Department of Health said.
