Laloki hospital assessment complete

The Health Department has completed a workforce assessment for Laloki Psychiatric Hospital.

Director Medical Services for Laloki Hospital, Dr Ludwik Nanawar, said the Health Department team visited the hospital last week to carry out the assessment, which was completed last Thursday.

Dr Nanawar said they will now compile a report to be submitted to the Health Secretary to go through and then deliberate on the hospital’s workforce structure.

He said the hospital has given them seven days to respond however, they have requested for an extension.

The vocal doctor said the staff of the hospital are still waiting for the Department to confirm when they will respond.

The hospital’s staff had threatened industrial action if the Health Department continues to ignore their plea for a re-structure and legal status determination in order to solve issues of manpower and the hospital’s development.
