Care Home Operators Business Sector within The Malta Chamber meet with the Leader of the Opposition

The Care Home Operators Business Committee within The Malta Chamber recently met with Dr. Bernard Grech, Leader of the Opposition and Dr. Maria Deguara, Shadow Minister and spokesperson representing the Elderly.

Dr. Grech and Dr. Deguara listened to the concerns of Care Home Operators, especially following the last year as they battled Covid19 trying to keep the elderly in their care safe. They spoke of their apprehension now that, it has been suggested that measures within care homes will be eased and their wish that this would be done in stages, to further safeguard the elderly.

Other topics discussed were the shortage of nurses as Malta faces losing these to other countries, and the cautious approach required leading to more interaction with relatives, whom this last year has shown, are integral in the lives of the elderly, especially when it comes to their mental health.
