Please note that the COO before Clifton (that is before this past week), who has over 12 years of experience in the mental health sector and had been single-handedly running the hospital for over a year, before Ms. Gauci took over as CEO, got transferred to Boffa as COO there.

In reply to Matthew Sultana. As in has been demoted from CEO to COO, but she's a woman, so what can she expect.

I wonder what all the switchers who consider themselves worthy of succeeding Ms Gauci think now? I am sure that a lawyer is the best person to have deep insight into illness, including mental illness, and the ethical and moral issues it raises. I am sure a 29-year-old lawyer is the best person to manage a mental hospital.

I am also sure that a lawyer is fully able to participate in discussions with psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses, otherwise what could the GP who suddenly found himself minister be thinking?

Do you think that they are looking at the roadmap bottom side up? Please do not advise me to pinch myself to wake up from the nightmare, I am black and blue all over already.

“Ms Gauci has remained within the senior management of the mental health service and has been given the prima donna role in community mental health care as a COO,” he (Dr Farrugia ) said.

I think the minister should know that prima donna is actually an insult.

In reply to P Shaw. "Have begun to pale" you say? Times of Malta has been obliterated by this website. Unless you consult it for its Births and Deaths Section, that is.

All the Labour ministers are going to be very jealous of Clifton Grima. a 29 year old who will be earning Eur65,000.

Marlene Farrugia must be so angry that she or her hubby didn’t get this post. It would have been easier and more profitable.

Don’t ask Joseph Muscat about this, because he will just state that this case is closed. HNIZRIJIET BISS.

The former CEO doesn’t look too disappointed though.
