INMO to ballot for industrial action due to 'unsafe' staff numbers

The INMO will ballot on a location-by-location basis

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has sanctioned a campaign of industrial action, saying it is doing so "in pursuance of safe staffing."

The group, which tracks the number of available beds in Irish hospitals on a daily basis via its Trolley Watch initiative, has repeatedly called on the Government to intervene in recent weeks to take some pressure off the health system and staff.
