Aug 06 - Defenders Urge Gibraltar to Fly Their Flags
The Defenders of Gibraltar fully support the recent initiative expressed by a number of members of the general public during discussions regarding sending a 'powerful, peaceful and unequivocal message' highlighting the strength of Gibraltarian unity.
A statement released by the pressure group notes, ‘the initiative itself is for people in Gibraltar to fly the Gibraltar flag, Union Jack flag or Union Jack defaced with castle and key flag from their houses, windows, balconies and even shop windows. Indeed anywhere where a flag can be hung, flown or displayed, we urge people to do exactly that.
The GHA has completed its minor operations initiative and has cleared the Minor Operations Waiting List.
Health Minister Dr. John Cortes will this week attend a series of meetings in the Isle of Wight and London. The Isle of Wight shares a similar health service to that of Gibraltar, with regards to primary, secondary and mental health services. Both services are also managed by the same health care provider. 
A number of Gibraltar Customs officers recently completed Level II Health & Safety Awards, which covers health and safety in the workplace, related hazards, procedural models and risk management.
