Cardiologist seeks court warrant to impede division of cardiology department

Nationalist MP Albert Fenech, asks for warrant of prohibitory injunction stopping the division of the Cardiac Services Department from splitting into two separate units.

Retired cardiologist and Nationalist MP Albert Fenech today filed a request for a warrant of prohibitory injunction against the health ministry in order to impede the division of the Department of Cardiac Services at Mater Dei Hospital into two departments.

Fenech had last month claimed a split in the cardiac department at Mater Dei Hospital would have adverse repercussions on the patients and is not based on sound medical practice.

Fenech was one of the main consultants behind the unification of the cardiac department.

In 1995, he was in charge of the Cardiac Surgery Department while Alex Manche was responsible for the Cardiology Department.

At the time various administrative issues were being faced due to the departments being separate. This led to the creation of the Cardiac Services Department, which Fenech chaired until he retired. Manche took his post.

In November the Government published a call for applications for Chairman of the Cardiology Department proving the Ministry of Health was planning to again divide the Cardiac Services Department. Nine of 11 consultants working in cardiology are contrary to this decision.

The request for the warrant of prohibitory injunction was signed by lawyers Andrew Borg Cardona and Jason Azzopardi.

The truth behind the planned division is clear: PL would like to creat a new post for a red-eyed boy with a surname starting with an X
