Nearly 1,800 nurses ‘needed’ to fill vacancies in health system
The Irish Nursing and Midwives Organisation’s director of industrial relations yesterday told the annual delegate conference in Killarney, Co Kerry, that the INMO would dispute government claims it had recruited 1,000 nurses.
Phil Ní Sheaghda said two thirds of nursing appointments are existing staff moving within the public service and are not new recruits.
