Home-bound elderly patients needing specialised medical care will have a consultant sent to them at home under a new scheme inaugurated this morning.

Parliamentary Secretary Justyne Caruana stressed at the inauguration that the service is limited to people who cannot get out of their home. They have to be referred by a family doctor.

The new service will be provided by CommCare.
