The Nationalist Party has criticised the Labour government’s initiative to introduce a business friendly contact desk saying this was a contradiction to what the government was actually doing in the sector.

For, in less than three months, the government had stopped initiatives taken by the previous government without any consultation whatsoever.

The PN said that 150 patients a week were suffering because the government stopped the emergency service they were getting free of charge from the private sector.

The party was also informed that the government would bring to an end another two services the previous government had launched in partnership with the private sector.

It encouraged the government not to be miserly when it came to health and encouraged the Health Minister to meet and discuss the matter with the Finance Minister for no other services to be stopped.
