KURT SANSONE THE hospitals concession agreement with Vitals Global Healthcare was to span 30 years, according to the documents tabled in Parliament in October 2016. But doubts have now been cast on the length of the concession after parts of the contract that had been blanked out were leaked to the media. It was the Times of Malta that yester- day reported how St Luke's hospital was transferred on a 99-year lease to Vitals, while the government retained a buy- back option for the Karin Grech and Go- zo hospitals.

After being kept in the dark over the details of the sectoral agreement signed on 21 December, educators were sur- prised to learn that the new allowances structure would only lead to an increase of between 11% and 12% over the five- year period. Billed as a historic agreement, details were revealed online by MaltaToday last Friday, leading to a barrage of dis- appointment in various online forums for teachers and learning support assis- tants. Educators who spoke to this newspa- per said they were deceived. They had been asked by their union to respond to an online consultation last December that asked them whether they agreed with the prop o s e d increases. SIGNS that Vitals Global Healthcare had serious issues in not raising the capital to fi- nance their operation was evi- denced by severe problems in paying suppliers. The agree- ment allowing Vitals a 30-year concession was heavily criti- cised in the media for the lack of transparency on the matter. MaltaToday can confirm that talks between the American health company and Vitals kicked off months ago and in mid-December both sides en- tered into a sales agreement. The two sides have appointed a committee to look into the pending liabilities and Stew- ard has agreed to settle these. The hospital concession agreements with Vitals Glob- al Healthcare to run the Gozo and Karin Grech hospitals would have cost taxpayers more than €40 million this year. It was announced with much pomp and enthusiasm by the Muscat administra- tion but the whole project has fallen f lat on its face just two years after it started. A de- bate on the transfer will take place on Wednesday. According to the financial estimates in Budget 2018, the government will be paying the private company €28.2 mil- lion for the running of the Gozo general hospital. 6 PAUL COCKS AS negotiations with ALPA, the pi- lots' union, remain at a standstill, sources close to the negotiations have told MaltaToday that time is running out for Air Malta to con- clude a deal. This newspaper is informed that Air Malta has offered its pilots a package that will see first officers' salaries increase by an average of €72,392 over a five-year period, while the average increase for a captain would be €105,600. Furthermore, arrears of €6,000 have been offered to each pilot for the expired period of the collective agreement between January 2016 and December 2017. The company has also guaranteed the immediate promotion of ten First Officers to Captains in 2018 and 2019, with a further 15 promotions planned over the subsequent three years. The company has stressed that the offer is its final one but it ap- pears that a significant segment of the pilots are still unwilling to fly longer hours in exchange for the increases offered by the company. Earlier this week, the government announced that it had set up a new company, which would also be seeking to obtain an Air Operating Licence (AOC). The government has said that the move was intended to protect Air Malta's lucrative airport slots, but the sources said it could also serve as a contingency plan in the eventuality that an agreement is not reached with Air Malta's pilots over their working conditions. "The minister had said that all collective agreements needed to be signed by the end of 2017 but realistically, the airline will start to face significant difficulties once the new scheduled routes planned for 2018 start," the sources said. Financing the airline would also be difficult unless all employee sec- tions agreed to a new collective agreement.
