Hospital in talks over nurses' protest action
Discussions are taking place at St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin today to minimise the number of non-emergency procedures that will be affected by industrial action taken by nursing staff tomorrow.
As the Irish Nurses Organisation (INO) and Psychiatric Nurses Association (PNA) step up their campaign for better pay and working hours, management at St Vincent’s stressed that planned surgery cancellations will be decided on a clinical basis, with patients informed as soon as the situation is clarified.
