A total of 19,409 operations were held between January and May, an increase of 1,009 over the same period last year, Health Minister Joe Cassar said.
He said that in the past 12 months 43,747 operations were held, an increase of 1,952 on the previous year and 11,000 more than in the last year at St Luke’s Hospital.
The increase in operations was the result of a strategic plan aimed to reduce waiting time for patients, the minister said.
