In reply to silvio. 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.

As far as I know, operations are prioritised according to urgency, so that billboard is, basically, bullshit..

In reply to Clifford. And yes. Close all private hospitals too.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.
