# Nationalist Party Unveils New Health and NGO Proposals, Accuses Labour of Copying

## In brief

- The Nationalist Party (PN) has proposed creating a National Health Park in Selmun and Fort Campbell.
- PN also suggested utility bill cuts for voluntary organisations to recognise their community role.
- The party accused the Labour government of ridiculing its proposals before adopting them, highlighting a perceived lack of new ideas.

Earlier, Fil-Qosor reported on [Labour and Nationalist Parties detailing election promises and campaign activities](/article/2026-05-04/labour-nationalist-parties-detail-election-promises-campaign-activities). Since then, the Nationalist Party (PN) has put forward new proposals concerning healthcare and voluntary organisations, while also criticising the Labour government's approach to election pledges.

The PN has proposed a significant shift in healthcare strategy by establishing a National Health Park in Selmun and Fort Campbell. This initiative aims to move the healthcare system from primarily focusing on treatment to one that prioritises prevention and lifestyle care.

In addition to health, the PN also pledged stronger support for voluntary organisations. The party suggested implementing utility bill cuts for these groups, recognising their vital role in Maltese communities and describing them as "the heart of our community."

Furthermore, the Nationalist Party accused the Labour government of a pattern of behaviour where it first ridicules PN proposals and then quietly adopts them. The party argued that the ongoing election campaign has revealed a government that is "tired of ideas, direction and credibility."

This accusation suggests a political strategy by the PN to highlight what it perceives as a lack of original policy ideas from the current administration, positioning itself as the party leading with new initiatives.
