May 07 - GHA Staff Awards Programme
The Gibraltar Health Authority is now inviting nominations for the 2013/14 staff awards programme. The programme, established in 2006, is designed to recognise and reward examples of individual and team excellence in the provision of care by GHA staff. Nominations can be made by patients, patients’ relatives, carers and friends who have received or witnessed the provision of excellent care either to themselves or others. Each nomination must be supported by a citation detailing the care experienced or witnessed by the nominator.
The GSD says that the Government’s latest statement on the power station is just another example of Mr Picardo’s “hypocrisy” and the “do as I say but not as I do” philosophy that it claims is epitomizing his tenure as Chief Minister.

In response to the GSD’s recent claim that the former administration also spent significant public funds on repairing GSLP built housing estates, the Government ha said that this claim is ‘totally incorrect’. Instead they note that ‘The repairs to Harbour Views did not cost the Government millions and millions of pounds. In this case, the contractor was taken to court, lost the case and it was the contractor, not the government, who had to pay for the repairs.’
