To: All Members of Staff
Date: 8 July 2008

We would like to draw the attention of all members of staff to the increased fees being charged at the private hospitals, where in some instances the increase is 50% more than it was charged in the previous months.

For this purpose, any request for in-patient treatment at any of the private hospitals is to be pre-authorised by Atlas Healthcare prior to admission. This has always been a requirement but now it is more important as these fees are exceeding the standard charges agreed between the hospitals and the Insurers.

Please note that waste from outside the University is not to be deposited in the skips on campus since the litter space available is limited. Moreover, when the facilities are full, no further material is to be deposited outside the bins and skips. Facilities are monitored and emptied regularly.

The Office for Human Resources Management and Development would like to bring to the attention of all members of staff that information about job opportunities with the University of Malta is available on the Office of Human Resources Management and Development website.
