Early in December 2016, my wife was diagnosed with brain melanoma and she is now bed ridden. We applied for home help on 29th December 2016. Up to the time of writing and after tens of telephone calls from the Departiment ghall-Anzjani u Kura Fil-Komunita, assessments and visits by the supervisor, this home help still hasn't arrived. I would appreciate it if the minister in charge of this department can tell me how long I have to wait before I see a helper in my home.
If the government cannot supply this service, it should find other ways and means to relieve this hardship, such as reducing income tax for those who pay to have a helper.
