LifeCome Care, a company providing domiciliary care for the GHA, made the news yesterday after complaints on of changes in carers, claims of no vetting, and various other issues.

Sensing that Gibraltar would play a vital strategic role for the British Armed Forces, he began a diary chronicling the events which would last for 74 days.
