HSE staff end action after court intervenes

THE dispute between the HSE and its employees which threatened to escalate into staff suspensions and service cuts has ended after the union accepted a Labour Court recommendation.

HSE management was considering its response last night, but is expected to recommend the green light this morning.

For the last three months members of the IMPACT trade union have been refusing to collate and present financial and service data to management, leaving the HSE bosses in the dark as to whether their financial spending was in order and whether they were on target to make the required €400m savings this year.
