The representative for Social Affairs for the Cabildo in Tenerife, Margarita Pena, has said that the South hospital's geriatric unit could be up and working in six months if the government provides the 11 million euros that are needed to continue and finish the work. The Minister stressed the need to unblock this money the sooner the better as this projectis, "much needed and demanded."

Cabildo and the Canarian Government have invested more than 32 million euros in this geriatric unit.

Thanks so much for the report .
Forgive me if I don't buy a hat for the opening ceremony. 6 months probably means 12.:laugh:

And after all this time only a geriatric unit. I do however appreciate that I will no doubt get the use out of it when it does open (before someone else makes this comment so sorry, Andy!)

The representative for Social Affairs for the Cabildo in Tenerife, Margarita Pena, has said.....Quite an appropriate name for her, don't you think? Pena = Pain in Spanish :D In fact, her whole name translates as Daisy Pain :rofl:

A Canarian Doctor that lives on my complex says it will definitely be open sometime in 2013! He said this is the deadline for completion.:dontknow:

Have to agree! I go to the "Pain" Dept. at Hospital Candelaria 'cause I suffer extreme "Delor"

[Chicharrera]

Yes dolor is pain and pena,or penita is saddness or pity.

I was referring to 'pain' as in 'pain in the bum' or something is a 'pain', not as in a hurting type of pain :)

Que pena being a good example, i.e. 'what a pain'

Que pesado ...que peña is more what a pity/shame
