The Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses says are concerned as no refurbishment of more decrepit wards seems to be taking place. The union lamented this since they were allegedly promised a €6 million investment to refurbish the old mental health hospital. With wards closed off seven years ago and more to be closed in the coming weeks, the union accused the health authorities of abandonment and that promises of refurbishment were simply fake news.
The union stated that ‘no investment has materialised at Mount Carmel Hospital except for the re-allocation of chronic patients.’ The MUMN added that staff frequently encounters difficulty finding new beds for admissions, resulting in a lack of dignity for patients.
