Bed shortage. Political interference. Waste. Pushy unions… All listed in a 2012 health review report which chronicled the problems plaguing Mater Dei Hospital. So why do the same problems persist in 2014? Why does the Pharmacy of Your Choice initiative remain saddled by high costs?

The health sector will be under the spotlight in Tuesday’s edition of Times Talk.

The main guests on the programme are Health Minister Godfrey Farrugia, Opposition spokesman Claudio Grech and Saint James Hospital chairman Josie Muscat.

Viewers are urged to send their questions and comments on timesofmalta.com and on the Facebook and Twitter pages of Times Talk.

Presented by Times of Malta’s head of media Herman Grech and chief reporter Mark Micallef, Times Talk is live on TVM at 6.55pm with a repeat on TVM 2 at 10.15pm.
