Industrial action by state pharmacists intensified

State pharmacies will start closing at noon as from November 26 and will remain closed as from December 1 unless the Health Division sent proposals regarding the pharmacists employed with the government, the Union Ħaddiema Magħqudin said.

It said that even though the Health Division had informed it that it had appointed a board to draw up the proposals more than three weeks ago, no proposals had as yet been forthcoming.

The union said it was being very careful to create the least possible suffering for the public with its actions but the division was not working towards a solution.
