Housing an 'issue for everybody', not just nurses, health minister tells INMO conference

INMO conference heard many nurses lived in 'inappropriate' housing at extremely high rents and some live two hours or more from their workplace.

The health minister has pushed responsibility for housing nurses onto hospital management, saying the crisis is an issue for everyone and not just public sector workers.

Jennifer O’Carroll MacNeill was speaking during the second day of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) conference in Wexford.
