Staff in just two hospitals have been paid Covid bonus that was announced in January

The INMO said that hospitals are still waiting for funds from the HSE to be able to make the payments.

A union is calling for healthcare staff to be paid the Covid-19 pandemic bonus after staff at only two hospitals have been paid the gift.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has called on Health Minister Stephen Donnelly to ensure that the payment is given to nurses, midwives and other frontline workers.
