Most complaints emanate from the general hospital so it makes sense to get the feel of things…the manager dirtying his hands, which is good for staff more but intimidating to MD management if not properly handled (at least it got the Labour bums and skivers working). Once new procedures, etc are in place Minister needs to move out and work on the ‘helicopter’ view, returning periodically to monitor. And Edmond pls spare us your inane triumphalist comments…such a waste of time and space….just bear in mind the MAGGORANZA MISLUFA or Labour will be back in the wilderness in no time.

If it’s a micro-management issue, then it’s not a minister’s business.

The health ministry was already well established before Godfrey Farrugia was made minister with Marlene’s permission. The Ministtry’s office is in Merchants Street, Valletta.

This was a Mussolini gimmick

Marlene’s probably going to be helping him out in an unofficial capacity.

I think that’s a reference to his sneaking around with Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s first wife, Marlene.

Marlene Farrugia of course!
