Call for full rollout of nursing framework

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has called for the fully funded national rollout of a pilot project which demonstrated real results in the retention of nurses, the reduction of agency staff, and more positive patient outcomes.
The union’s call follows the launch yesterday by Health Minister Simon Harris of ‘A Framework for Safe Nurse Staffing and Skill Mix in General and Specialist Medical and Surgical Care Settings in Adult Hospitals in Ireland’.
