Leo Brincat said yesterday the Prime Minister was still withholding information of public interest about the hardware and software for the newly-opened Mater Dei Hospital. Even on Monday evening the Prime Minister failed to give relevant information in Parliament.

Mr Brincat, MLP spokesman on foreign affairs and information technology, said everyone knew that after the IT tender was suspended, the government had reserved the right to buy by direct order whatever was needed in information technology. For reasons known only to the Prime Minister, the information was still under wraps.

This delay in updating Parliament about the subject raised more concern, seeing that Parliament’s adjournment for the summer break could be just days away, Mr Brincat said.
