Mater Dei’s management denies lack of pillows

Despite photos published by the Labour Party allegedly showing a patient at Mater Dei Hospital resting her head on pyjamas and sheets instead of a pillow, Mater Dei's management has denied the incidents.

The management said that there is enough stock of pillows for all the patients.

Earlier today, the PL's spokesperson for health, Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, called on the ministry for health to investigate why patients were not being given pillows, if there truly were enough pillows at the hospital.

But in a reaction, the hospital's management said it was sorry that, "while on other occasions and for completely different reasons Coleiro Preca had contacted the management, this time she failed to contact us."

The management added that, "Coleiro Preca did not substantiate what she said".

The management also said that patients and their relatives should rest assured that the hospital was giving the best care from dedicated and professional workers.
