The MUMN - Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses - said this afternoon that it is withdrawing its call for the resignation of Health Minister Joseph Cassar after a long awaited call for the filling of posts for Occupational Health Nurses was issued by the Health Division.

It said this followed  a series of meetings between the MUMN and the Health Division. The union had called for the minister's resignation after it complained last November that he was not honouring an agreement.
 
The union also noted that  other calls have been issued to fill specialized posts  for Practise Development Nurses (PDN) which should improve nursing care in the psychiatric setting, paediatric setting and oncology setting.

"MUMN is satisfied that its recommendations to improve nursing care to the benefit of our patients were accepted by the Health Division."

It said it was still awaiting similar action to fill posts at the Gozo General Hospital.
