With reference to the article ‘Bad news from Mater Dei Hospital’ (May 10). I have been on the orthopaedic waiting list at Mater Dei for three and a half years for what is classified as major surgery. The politicians of all persuasion can manipulate the figures anyway they deem fit but, in reality, three and a half years for major surgery is totally unacceptable.
I place no blame at all onthe consultants, doctors, nursesor the general practitioners because it is the system that is woefully inadequate.
