INMO: No room for compromise on protective equipment for frontline health staff

Phil Ní Sheaghdha: 'There are guidelines from the WHO that tell us when all of the protective gear must be worn and what we’re saying to the HSE is that they cannot compromise on that'

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has said there is no room for compromise on protective equipment for frontline healthcare staff battling with the Covid-19 outbreak.

The IMNO has repeatedly raised concern over the shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for frontline workers with the HSE in recent days and said it will not accept any situation where staff are placed at risk.
