The Disability Society has issued a statement thanking staff of the disability services and has called on Government to provide "permanent contracts to all carers throughout the disability services".

A statement from the Disability Society follows below:

Unfortunately Gibraltar is still in the midst of the Covid pandemic and enduring  another lockdown. Once again the Disability Society would like to take the  opportunity to publicly thank the staff of the disability services. The long hours that  they are working, their dedication and understanding of the service users are second to  none. This once again brings to the forefront the issue of continuity of care and the  importance of knowledge and trust between carers and service users. The Society  therefore, yet again, calls upon the Government to provide permanent contracts to all  carers throughout the disability services. The recognition of their dedication,  understanding and loyalty deserves nothing less.
