- Voice of the Left supports the stand taken by the Malta Union of
Nurses and Midwives (MUMN ) in appealing to the Minister of Health to
revert its position to a more equitable solution that does not
discriminate, and that will further enhance the working conditions of
all employees in the Health sector.
"The
Minister wants to initiate an insurance policy which will be paid by
the workers to make good for any mishaps that may occur. The Minister
should not introduce new concepts that will put financial burden on the
workers.
The
state has a duty to protect both the interest of the patient and the
worker, and should not abdicate from the responsibilities. The insurance
policy should be covered by the government. Otherwise the government
will be re-introducing class divisions between nurses and doctors.”
