It seems Tourism Minister Konrad Mizzi has announced that the new American set-up will start operating our hospitals this week or something to that effect.

May I ask whether hospitals now fall under the responsibility of the Tourism Minister. Is Chris Fearne still Health Minister? If yes, should it not have been him to break this bit of news? Or, perhaps is he too busy dealing with the present flu crisis?

I can understand Mizzi’s intrusion but I cannot understand why Fearne should be humiliated to this extent. It reminds me of when Godfrey Farrugia was removed from health minister and replaced by Mizzi. I hope Brussels is keeping note of these funny moves.
