this is an essential service and the administration should apply this as such and should take the necessary steps as patients should become first.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE A SPECIALIST SINCE MAY 2011!!! Yes correct May 2011. I do hope that this problem will be resolved soonest and that I will not be advised that my appointment due on the 19th Nov 2012 will not be affcted. R. Bonello

Whilst I am sure there are very valid reasons for industrial action some professions should not be permitted to strike especially when it is to the detriment of people's health

this could easily be resolved if the Minister of Health and the Minister of finance find the necessary funds to pay the paramedics their decent wages and give them better conditions, its been far too long to wait for a solution now the agreement is 5 years overdue. we need to express our worries and demand a better future for the professional work we do. UHM keep it up we are backing you.

So after months of waiting we are told to confirm the appointment. I am not going into the merit of the Paramedics whether they have a right or not but just going to ask whom they are going to hit the patient or the authorities.
