John Dalli and his daughter, who acts as his personal assistant, are working on the reform of the Mater Dei Hospital on a voluntary basis.

“I must state that neither my daughter nor I are being remunerated for this work,” Mr Dalli told Times of Malta, reacting to criticism that he had engaged his daughter Louisa as his personal assistant for this role.

A Health Ministry spokesman confirmed Mr Dalli has no contract. “Mr Dalli is a consultant to the Health Minister working on a voluntary basis. At the moment he is taking stock of the situation at Mater Dei Hospital. There are no obligations,” the spokesman said.
