INMO gives health bosses 24 hours to ‘radically’ up plan

Health service managers have been given 24 hours to improve on proposals to recruit and retain nursing staff — or face the likelihood of being served notice of industrial action.

The threat from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) followed the adjournment without agreement last night of talks focused on devising measures to address the recruitment/retention crisis.

The INMO has advised the HSE that proposals have to be radically improved to form the basis of any further discussion.
