Prime Minister Robert Abela has unveiled another proposal from Partit Laburista’s electoral manifesto, focused on supporting children who need therapy and the families caring for them.Under the proposal, the government would fully fund therapy costs for children under the age of 18 who have disabilities or neurodivergent conditions.This would include services such as occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and physiotherapy.Labour also pledged additional support for parents who regularly take their children to therapy sessions or hospital appointments.Those parents would be entitled to five days of paid carer’s leave, which could be used flexibly and split into hours rather than full days.The measure is aimed at easing both the financial and practical pressures faced by families who require ongoing care and treatment support.It forms part of Labour’s wider manifesto rollout ahead of Malta’s upcoming general election.•
