Specialist nurses to receive denied pay increase

CNS nurses are involved in a range of disciplines, from cancer to neurology and various elements of community care.

Specialist nurses who had been denied a pay increase awarded to all other grades are now to receive the extra pay, the Irish Examiner has learned. 

The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on Friday gave the Department of Health the go ahead to pay the nurses the increase which is valued in excess of €4,000 per annum.
