Dentists employed by the state are not making dentures, fillings and administrative work because of a dispute with the Health Division.

The Union Ħaddiema Magħqudin ordered the action because, it said, the division was not honouring an agreement reached more than three years ago and was ignoring requests for talks to discuss a new agreement.

The UĦM said children with special needs will not be affected by the action, which will be intensified unless the division honoured the agreement.
