Þorsteinn Jóhannesson, Medical Director of the Vestfjörður Health Institute, handed over the "Health Control Device" to Ögmund Jónasson, Minister of Health, when the latter visited the institute this morning.

In fact, it was a knife handle and two blades. Þorsteinn said that other options could be used for the proposed cut, which would hopefully only be short-term. The other blade, which was also air-sharpened, could be used for cutting, and it would be a much more pleasant use than cutting. Then Þorsteinn handed Ögmund a pair of tile pliers, which are very handy if the subjects are small enough to be able to hold a hand on them.

There is no need for this, as the institution, like other health institutions, needs to close the sails in the near future.

However, there is no doubt that the knife is sharp, because the Health Institute of Vestfjörður, formerly the Health Institute of Ísafjörður, has always kept well on the money that is given to it.

It should also be noted that the organization and its staff have never before had to take part in austerity, because until now restraint and savings have characterized the operation, all with the result that we cannot talk about any overdrive in the operation of the organization in the past 15 years, if not anymore.
