Thursday, 30 September 2021, 17:29 Last update: about 4 years ago

The PN has hit out at Steward Health Care, challenging them to provide audits and receipts to prove that it has invested in the three hospitals.

The party was reacting to a statement made earlier today by Steward Health Care.

The Nationalist Party said that the report Steward submitted is simple a "photographic report. They didn't present any documentation to support this supposed investment. No receipts, no audits, nothing."

"The report they presented and this declaration shows that, despite the fact that over a period of five years they received tens or hundreds of millions from the government, they failed to show where their investment is. It would be good for them to explain to the public where they have spent money."

The PN said that the investment in the Barts medical school is the only millions of euros investment Steward made.

The PN challenged them to show that they "made the €190 million investment that they were committed to make from day one." The PN also challenged them to publish the payments they received from the government to pay for infrastructural works, to show where the infrastructural works and works on the investment in 400 beds in St Luke's hospital are.

The PN also challenged Steward Health Care to waive the €100 million payment agreement should the contract be cancelled due to their shortcomings. It also challenged the health care provider to publish the "agreement with Ram Tumuluri that saw him paid €5 million."

The PN said that the company should provide an audited and detailed report, providing receipts and payments they made and received.
