The health service in Madeira does not know how many professionals are effectively using biometric systems, as traditional manual time sheets remain in place and roughly 200 workers stay outside the digital tracking system.
Traditional paper sign-in books remain active for staff
Instead of relying solely on digital scans, the traditional paper sign-in book remains active for a portion of the staff. Health administrators face questions regarding exact participation rates, as officials acknowledge they cannot confirm the exact volume of professionals utilizing the biometric technology on a daily basis.
Legal Proceedings Over Prostitution Rooms
In a separate regional development handled by the justice system, two women are currently standing trial in Funchal on charges of pimping. Prosecutors state that the defendants rented out rooms specifically for prostitution, charging rates between 150 and 200 euros per week. Judicial police searches of the properties uncovered multiple women on site alongside large quantities of contraceptives.
Electricidade da Madeira invests to halt falling rocks
Infrastructure safety also commands attention as the region counts a total of only six specialized rockfall workers, known locally as rocheiros. The regional government acknowledges a clear shortage of these specialists and states an intention to make the career path more attractive. To mitigate hazards, Electricidade da Madeira (EEM) is investing 1.1 million euros to halt falling rocks from damaging the Central da Vitória facility.
