Appointing a man with no health I.T credentials to devise a healthcare I.T strategy for Malta’s most important hospital will result in a huge number of problems. I hope that this person proves me wrong, but in an industry where training is now available it’s a pity that such a person is appointed.

I wish luck to all those healthcare professionals who will try to figure out how to use these systems which will be encouraged by this gentleman.

In reply to Alexander Ball. It only leads me to believe that Dalli has got Muscat by the balls - assuming that he's got any, that is.

In reply to angelheart. This had to be the reason for offering "free" consultancy.

I have a gut feeling that the amateurish Cursor’s IT system will be scrapped in a few years’ and the whole system will need to start from scratch again.

Most importantly, someone (or a group of people) will cash millions in the next few years.

Good job switchers – your vendetta and emotional decision is turning out to be very costly indeed.

There are only two possibilities regarding the PM in this latest of a long series of obscene scandals involving Dalli.

Either Muscat has both his hands in the pie or else he is much, much more stupid than he seems to be.

How can a man who has no contract, give out contracts?

Dalli will never change. He counts upon others being misinformed or stupid or simply corrupt. He knows we all have a price.

Who’s this Mark Sammut then? Purely by speculation, there is a “Dr Mark Sammut”, owner of an IT company called Cursor Ltd.

There is also a cardiologist called “Dr Mark Sammut”, but I just can’t see any of them having any project management track record to take on such a project.

[Daphne – The man in question is the owner of Cursor Ltd.]
