CUH nurses being balloted over industrial action

Nurses at hospitals across the country are set to be balloted by the INMO.

Nurses in Cork University Hospital working in the Emergency Department have been balloted this morning on proposed industrial action.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation say the overcrowding crisis is intensifying with the numbers on trolleys this year the worst since records began.

Leeside 29 patients were lying on trollies yesterday in Cork University hospital and the Mercy University hospital.

The government is now being called on to make progress on the demands of nurses to avoid planned work stoppages which would be rolled out in different phases across the country.

Speaking to RedFM News Mary Rose Carroll of the INMO says nurses feel they have to take a stand.
