Christmas has come early at the CPSU – with some very attractive bunting

Just look at the bunting that’s gone up at the health department’s Central Procurement and Supplies Unit, which the administrative centre for ordering in medicine supplies.
Health Minister Godfrey Farrugia’s shortages-busting tactic has been to install one Mike Farrugia, an emigrant to Canada who has since returned, as a consultant there. He spends his days scuttling about at the Luqa building, in and out of offices and putting up inspirational bunting like that shown here.
It isn’t working, though, is it. Supplies of medicines don’t come through will, but through money and orders.

Well , it would look like
“NO SHORTAGES OF SHORTAGES IN 2014”
“Supplies of medicines don’t come through will, but through money and orders.”
Didn’t you hear? According to the new religion of the PL ( the whole ‘think positive’ thing) if you want something you just need to will it to happen and then the entire universe conspires to give it to you.
That’s why so many people hate the PN. They could have just willed everything into being but didn’t because they are arrogant and wanted it all for themselves. Duh!
Hold on to that photo. Something tells me it will be quite useful in the future.
It depends whether the importers / contracts change, or whether they agree on a revised ‘payback’.
The medicine importers need to keep in mind that there are two health ministers now.
Apparently they’ve put also a small statue of the Madonna in the right corner, with some flowers and candles.
Maybe the Canadian consultant thinks that the shortages will be solved with another Borg in-Nadur or Girgenti.
But we need medicines NOW not next year….maybe it will be too late for some of us.
What’s worse is that on 1 January 2014, they will change that streamer to read “No shortages in 2015.”
No shortages of what? Probably of arrogance and abuse of power.
I presume that someone will come along to claim that this bunting is evidence of the dynamism of Malta’s new government.
Canada is big in the global pharmaceuticals industry, so they thought that hiring the consultancy services of an ex-emigrant to Canada will sort out our supply of medicine problems.
The ad in this post contradicts minister Farrugia’s projections which, according to his self-imposed target, should see our problems in this area solved by the end of this legislature.
For all the roadmaps and promises of a clear direction, all we’ve heard so far are reports, boards and commissioners, MoUs, ‘strategic and holistic’ studies and trite statements about anything from the economy, environment, transport, poverty and anything else for which they criticised the previous PN administration.
It is obvious to those who can and want to see that they have no idea how to govern and administer this place. Their promises and commitments, unless supported by shady dealings which still have to materialise, are as solid as air bubbles.
