May I appeal to the relevant authorities to look into the antiquated system of pharmacies’ Sunday opening and bring it in line with all other retail outlets, especially in tourism zones.
There are a total of seven pharmacies in St Paul’s Bay and district: three in Qawra, two in Buġibba and two in St Paul’s Bay.
But the sick, the old and infirm still have to travel to Mellieħa or Mosta on certain Sundays to obtain emergency medicine, which is not acceptable in this day and age.
