European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation José Manuel Albares and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, together with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo, met in Brussels earlier today.
A paper has just been published by the journal PLOS ONE (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0259656) which reveals the remarkable lives of pallid swifts that nest in the attic of the Gibraltar National Museum. ‘Birds with multiple homes. The annual cycle of the pallid swift (Apus pallidus brehmorum)’ details the incredible exploits of these birds, from when they leave for Africa after breeding until their return the following spring.
The GSD has this evening said that while the GHA restructure announced today is welcome it “shows that there were serious systemic failures in the health service caused by years of Government mismanagement.”
The Government is set to embark on an overhaul of the Gibraltar Health Authority to improve the services provided to patients and also the accountability of the Authority to the Minister, and therefore to the taxpayer.
