Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono has confirmed that there was no regional policy for the elderly and health sectors in Gozo.

Mrs Debono told Dr Anton Refalo (PL) that the Gozo Ministry had made its recommendations. She said it was the Health Ministry, the Finance Ministry and the Office of the Prime Minister which had to establish which services are to be provided and how many workers were required in both sectors.

Answering another question by Dr Refalo, Mrs Debono said that the Gozo Ministry ultimately had the horizontal responsibility in all sectors where there was one national entity that has operational responsibility. This would ensure that everything that is implemented in Gozo is in its best interest.
