Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
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.
