Publishing sanctioned nurses' details could lead some 'to consider suicide', INMO conference hears

Publishing details of every nurse sanctioned by their regulatory body could lead some to take their own lives or consider doing so, according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO).

Dr Edward Mathews, INMO director of regulation and social policy, told the union's annual conference that the proposal contained in the Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2019 would be resisted by nurses, doctors, dentists and other regulated health professions.
