1,722 nurses needed to fill current vacancies says INMO

An additional 1,722 nurses must be recruited to fill existing vacancies within the health system, according to figures from the country's largest nursing organisation.

The Irish Nursing and Midwives Organisation's Director of Industrial Relations this morning told its Annual Delegate Conference in the INEC, Killarney that the INMO disputes the last government's claims that it has recruited 1,000 new nurses.
