Nurses’ concern over proposed hospital cuts

THE Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) yesterday expressed “great concern” over planned cuts at the MidWest’s largest hospital.

Before a meeting with HSE management of the Midwest Regional Hospital in Limerick yesterday, INMO Industrial Organiser, Noel Traynor said: “In the absence of a well thought out defined strategy, the proposals will lead to a diminution of service at the hospital that is below what could be considered a baseline appropriate level of service.”

Mr Traynor said the INMO had ‘great concern’ over the proposals.
