Franco Debono On ‘Insult Experts’ In PN; Urges More Discipline

Jun 11 2025

Taking to social media, lawyer and former PN MP Franco Debono said that Nationalist Party supporters have become insult experts and if they are going to insult, he doesn’t want their support.

Speaking after the resignation of Bernard Grech from the leadership, Debono said that the only way for the Nationalist Party to stop being the Opposition they have to stop being insult experts and seek more unity.

He said that if he were to become leader – something many people have expressed their support over – he would immediately tell the PN deputies to be more disciplined and for the supporters to educate themselves more.

‘Discipline brings unity’, said Debono in a video. He called out the various factions formed around various PN MPs who they see as the future leader.

He said that the Labour Party are winning with over 40,000 votes and are still seeking to bring people who may have left.

Mater Dei Embraces Digital Shift In Patient Care

Jun 11 2025

Mater Dei Hospital has taken a major step in its digital transformation with Ward S4 now fully operating with electronic patient records.

The initiative was confirmed by Minister for Health and Active Ageing Jo Etienne Abela, who described the move as a government priority in enhancing patient care.

The pilot project saw doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in the ward adopt the ‘Patient Dashboard’ system to digitally record notes.

Originally developed during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Health Informatics team, the system was already being used in the Surgery Department and Outpatients section.

“This is a significant step in our digital transition,” said Minister Abela. “Ward S4 is now entirely paper-free, and we intend to extend this to more areas across our healthcare system.”

The shift aims to improve both clinical outcomes and daily operations by eliminating risks associated with paper notes, such as damage or illegibility. It also boosts data security and efficiency.

The system is accessible across other facilities, including Gozo General Hospital and St Vincent de Paul Residence.

Dr Clifford Caruana, Chair of General and Vascular Surgery, highlighted the environmental benefits and noted that digital records better safeguard patient privacy, complying with GDPR regulations.
