MUMN Council is organising a Press Conference tomorrow, Wednesday 19^th April 2023 at MUMN Premises in Qormi at 09.30 hrs, to inform on the way forward after the Nurses & Midwives have rejected the Government’s proposals regarding the new sectoral agreement. During the Extraordinary General Conference, 97.6% of the Nurses & Midwives voted against while 1% voted in favour. 1.4% were invalid votes. Present were 804 Nurses & Midwives. This amount was the largest crowd ever attending for a General Conference since the union’s foundation in 1996.

We would like to clarify the purpose of next Tuesday's meeting as many of you have requested more details.

As you are aware, the Government is stating “that the financial package presented is the best one ever presented to Nurses & Midwives”. But is it enough for today's realities? This concept needs to be decided next Tuesday. MUMN Council will be giving you the actual handout of Government's latest package and all the details from MUMN’s package. 

Millions of euros spent on Consultancies & Steward Health Care

MUMN to increase directives in Health Centres and in Gozo General Hospital but not in MDH

Ten days have passed from when MUMN had declared an industrial dispute on the nurses'/midwives' sectoral agreement. The Ministry for Health has made no extra effort to address the dispute and has not sent any counter proposals to address the industrial actions. It is clear that for the Ministry for Health, the patients, nurses and midwives are not a priority and is not prepared to address the humiliating counter proposals sent ten days ago to our members.
