Plans for a new children and maternity hospital have been completed, which would cater for 180 beds, four operation theatres as well as an intensive therapy unit for infants, Health Parliamentary Secretary Chris Fearne said today.

He was speaking during the inauguration of a new outdoor play area at Mater Dei's Disneyland Ward.

The outdoor play area was made possible thanks to the initiative of Nathan Farrugia, who did a marathon in the other 27 EU states in the 27 Challenge for Charity.

Mr Fearne praised Mr Farrugia's initiative and encouraged more NGOs to chip in towards the health sector.
