A commission has been set up by the Union Haddiema Maghqudin to study proposals and initiatives listed in the consultation document on strengthening the primary health care.

The document was launched by Health Minister John Dalli and Parliamentary Secretary Joe Cassar a few weeks ago. It gives an analytical overview of the service today and lists probabilities of what care society would be patients would be receiving in the coming years.

The commission is made up of union president Gaetano Tanti, secretary general Gejtu Vella, assistant secretary general Jesmond Bonello, hospital workers' section secretary Joe Bonello, pensioners' section secretary Alfred St John, public entities' section secretary Josef Vella and family community doctor John Zammit Montebello.

It will be meeting several workers and professions in primary health care as well as union delegates. The commission would then report to the UHM general council with proposals the union would be making for patients to remain at the centre of all decisions.
