Industrial action could hit hospital A&E's nationwide

The INMO is set to ballot its members at Emergency Departments across the country.

It's feared industrial action will hit hospital Emergency Departments as a nationwide ballot of nurses has been called for next week. 

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation are calling the ballot as overcrowding at A&E departments across the country worsens.

In a statement the Health Minister Leo Varadkar says he is disappointed by the decision.
