Caretaker Minister for Public Health John Cortes met last week with Una Geary, the Public Health specialist commissioned to carry out a study on the increase special needs in Gibraltar’s younger population.

Ms Geary will over the next few months be meeting with a number of individuals and collectives as part of the research. Among the topics discussed were possible causes for the increase, and the development of a strategy to provide increasing support.

The research is being funded by the UK Health Security Agency.
