I recently visited a cousin of mine at Mater Dei Hospital and I was greeted by an extremely shallow billboard put up by the Labour Party. This billboard suggests that under GonziPN one has to wait 48 hours in hospital corridors. This billboard is disgraceful for two reasons.
Firstly, the health service, such as our hospitals, clinics and free medication should always be completely apolitical. Secondly, although the health service is not perfect this billboard portrays an incorrect message and thousands of patients and their relatives can testify to this.
The Nationalist Party billboard ‘Labour won’t work’ has hit Labour very hard. Labour’s reaction was to offend the staff of the health sector as well as patients and their relatives.
