Rosianne Cutajar has returned to the Health Committee as part of a recent reshuffle of roles for Members of Parliament (MPs) by Prime Minister Robert Abela. Cutajar, who represents the Sixth District electoral division, has previously held significant roles in the Maltese government, including Parliamentary Secretary for Civil Rights and Reforms. Notably, she was instrumental in introducing legislation for civil rights, gender equality, and updating existing laws during her tenure.
Cutajar’s political career has seen its share of controversy, particularly surrounding her resignation from the Labour Party and her position as parliamentary secretary in 2021. This followed allegations of her links to Yorgen Fenech, a businessman accused of involvement in the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. Despite these challenges, Cutajar continues to serve as an independent MP, focusing on various legislative reforms and social issues.
In her current role, Cutajar’s responsibilities and contributions to the Health Committee are expected to shape Malta’s healthcare policies and reforms. Given her background in civil rights and equality, her involvement may bring a unique perspective to healthcare discussions. However, without further details on the specific reshuffle, the full extent of her new role and responsibilities remains to be seen.
