The General Workers' Union, the Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses and the Union Haddiema Maghqudin have strongly objected to the proposal of having a petrol station just metres away from Mount Carmel hospital.

In a joint statement, the unions urged the Malta Environment and Planning Authority to consider the consequences of such a development on the patients and staff working at Mount Carmel.

The unions said common sense should prevail and the project should not be given the green light because it would be a hazard to the hospital.

If developed, the petrol station would be on Notabile Road in Attard - very close to the children's section at the hospital.
