Doctors to be balloted for Industrial Action

Doctors are to ballot for industrial action after talks between the IMO and the government broke down.

he dispute centres around the restoration of a 3,000 euro 'living out allowance' that was abolished a number of years ago.

The IMO will now ballot its non-consultant hospital doctors on industrial action. 

Their President John Duddy said the breakdown of talks is an example of the lack of respect the government has for doctors.
