And exactly what does Labour plan to do about it?

Here’s another ‘wicc vili’ Labour billboard.
They ignore the fabulous, amazing and free of charge (to those who complain most about it) general hospital.
They ignore the fact that Labour’s track record on health care and hospitals is BEYOND ABYSMAL.
And they focus on the ‘fact’ that those who are not urgent cases are put on a waiting-list for (free of charge) operations, just as they are the world over.
BUT – and this is the big but, in upper case – they do not tell us how a Labour government will change this situation. THAT IS WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW, AND WHAT THE LABOUR PARTY REFUSES ADAMANTLY TO TELL US, BECAUSE IT HAS NO IDEA EITHER.

Besides being a state of the art hospital with amongst the best surgeons, nursing and accommodation it also affords patients individual communication facilities with the most modern technology.
And to think that under labour most of us Maltese had to go begging to get a simple telephone for a household.
Shame on Labour. They do not deserve to win elections.
Free of charge my foot.
What do we pay taxes for?
Do you think that is only those who never paid taxes who have to wait in queques?.
There weren’t all these complaints when we had St.Lukes,because we all knew that it was antiquated and needed redoing.
But we never thought that Mater Dei, which is supposed to be state of the art ,would have all these problems.
In actual fact it’s not Mater Dei which is not delivering,but the ones who manage it .
In other civilised European countries these persons would be given the order of the boot and transferd to the refuse sect. of the dept of health.
You obviously live on another planet. Hospitals anywhere have waiting lists, as long or longer than Malta’s. Hospitals overseas have wards and hundreds of beds sealed off for lack of funds and freezes on employment.
I worry about the Nationalist government social policy and feel that it may be overly generous.
The government has at least managed to sustain it through economic activity.
I fear that a Labour government, led by Joseph, will not be as resourceful and will have to turn to taxation if it is to keep the services at the present level, let alone increase them, as promised.
This apart from finding the money to improve education, the health system, public transport, the infrastructure, lower the water and electricity rates, petrol, diesel and gas and balance the books to boot, not to mention the car importation tax refund he promised himself. Play safe. Vote Nationalist, warts and all.
These brass-necked bastards seem to have forgotten how under labour one couldn’t even beat the queue by choosing to pay for surgery in a private hospital.
Since the ‘lanzit’-ridden horde could not afford to pay for it then nobody should be allowed to. Wasn’t that what Karmenu Vella championed?
Facli : Jaqbez ghalihom Silvio.
Reminds me of the stupid, but unfortunately commonly held, view that the new Mater Dei hospital is “a waste of money because it’s a smaller hospital than St Luke’s”. Naturally these idiots are not aware that within just a couple of years there are already 25% more operations being performed at the ‘smaller’ Mater Dei.
In my days as a student nurse during the late 70s, apart from performing nursing duties, we had to serve as interpreters between doctors and patients.
Labour’s solution? Very easy. Lock the Maltese doctors out of hospital and exile them abroad, ruin the medical school, and employ doctors from India, Pakistan, Egypt and ex-Yugoslavia
And yes. Close all private hospitals too.
As far as I know, operations are prioritised according to urgency, so that billboard is, basically, bullshit..
