Leo Varadkar ‘must solve nursing crisis’

Nursing Home Ireland chief executive Tadhg Daly said some nursing homes were having to close beds at a time when more than 2,300 nurses were waiting up to a year to be registered by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland.
Nursing Home Ireland representatives will hand deliver a letter to Mr Varadkar that has been signed by 208 private and voluntary nursing homes who want him to take urgent action.
