Junior doctors' action against HSE adjourned

A High Court action initiated by the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) and a number of junior doctors concerning an alleged breach of contract by the Health Services Executive in seeking to implement a range of cost-saving measures will be heard after the Easter break.

Today at the High Court Ms Justice Mary Laffoy said given the urgency of the matter she would speak to the President of the High Court Mr Justice Richard Johnson and ask that a judge be assigned to hear the case early in the next legal term.
