INMO 'doesn’t have any faith' in HSE plans to resolve staff shortages in hospitals

Phil Ni Sheaghdha said: 'The HSE has promised us it will produce a pay and numbers strategy. It still hasn't produced it.'

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has said it has no faith in HSE plans to fix staff shortages, with over half its members under pressure to regularly work extra shifts.

General secretary Phil Ni Sheaghdha said shortages leading to unsafe conditions for patients came up repeatedly in its Work and Wellbeing survey 2024.
