Nurses urge minister to halt cuts or wreak havoc
Speaking after the chief executives of four major hospitals wrote to the HSE making a similar plea, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) said further cuts will cause havoc to an already damaged system.
The union said that since the recession began the health budget has been cut by €3.3bn, staff numbers have fallen by 10,000 and more than 2,000 beds shut.
