| The Medical Association of Malta is reported to be considering | taking industrial action on the grounds that their representations have not been addressed. This is not correct. |
| Various representations made to the Health Division | have been satisfactorily concluded including a revision of transport expenses. Other corrective measures proposed by the Association, such as changes to certain eligibility parameters stipulated in the Classification Agreement on Medical Grades of 1993 have been formalised by an Addendum to that Agreement. Indeed the Corrective Exercise with the MAM was signed in March 2000 on the basis of the agreement reached at the time. |
| The claim for the introduction of a Medical Premium | allowance was first made in the context of what the Association wanted to be a wholesale restructuring of the Medical Class. At that stage the Government was only prepared to address particular anomalies in the context of a Corrective Exercise. This policy applied not only to MAM but was applicable and acceptable to all other Unions. |
| Declaring an industrial dispute is considered | premature especially since some of the claims being made by the Association were only discussed for the first time in October 2001. Discussions on these and other claims made will continue and another meeting with the Association is scheduled to take place shortly. |
