A facility in St Paul s Bay which had been officially described as a hospital for Covid-19 patients from old people s homes in licensed as a long term care facility, Health Minister Chris Fearne said in reply to a parliamentary question on Monday.
The minister was replying to a question by Nationalist MP Claudette Buttigieg about the Good Samaritan facility. Buttigieg observed that the minister himself had described the facility as a hospital when he spoke during the Budget debate in the House on November 2.
In his reply, Fearne said the licence conditions laid down that nursing and medical staff have to be present round the clock. The conditions also extablish procedures to safeguard the health of patients at a higher level than available at old people s homes.
