Scabies had been eradicated from Malta ages ago.
Can the Hon Minister enlighten us about how this skin disease got re-introduced and among which group of the population it is prevalent? Same with tubercolosis. And how HIV infections shot up in the last few years? Not to mention other exotic, obscure, tropical diseases that had never been seen in Malta before.
Strength in disease diversity. Not likely.
