Mixed response as HSE provide detail on childcare supports for health staff

Clarification from the HSE that nurses and midwives will not be discriminated against because they have children to care for has been welcomed by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Association.

However the trade union, Fórsa, said the HSE guidance on childcare supports for essential workers fell far short of what was required to assist essential health staff and to maximise the numbers available in hospitals, community health services and nursing homes.
