The Sunday Times of Malta reported today the 6 April 2008 that doctors at the Mater Dei Hospital were directed to discharge patients from hospital because of a shortage of beds at the hospital. The Minister for Social Policy was reported to be working on the problem.

I could not believe what I was reading. Is this the same new hospital which took fifteen years to build, which cost an arm and a leg, and was the flagship achievement of Malta’s Government? How did we come to such a situation? What does “Par Idejn Sodi” have to say about this situation? What will happen in the future with an ageing population and an ever increasing population?
