Carmel Grixti, Departmental Nursing Manager at Mater Dei Hospital, has filed a judicial protest against the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Health and senior officials of the Health Division and the Foundation for Medocal Services, claiming that his transfer to Mt Carmel Hospital last month was illegal and a form of punishment.
He said he had been transferred to a branch of the hospital where he had never worked before, further reinforcing his contention that he was being punished for matters he was not responsible for.
Mr Grixti called on he authorities to reverse the transfer.
Drs Toni Abela and Claudio Zammit signed the protest.
