Thousands Of Patients Scheduled For Surgery Could Have Appointments Cancelled
Thousands of patients scheduled for surgery could have their appointments cancelled tomorrow with up to 10,000 hospital support staff going on strike.
The workers including porters, healthcare assistants and theatre staff will stage a 24 hour walkout in a row over pay.
There are also fears that some hospitals won't be able to provide regular meals and hot food to patients with kitchen staff also going on strike.
The HSE says contingency plans are in place, but the strike will have a significant impact on services if it goes ahead.
