Patients Are Suffering Due To A Lack Of Staff
That's according to nurses and midwives on the picketline outside Cork University Hospital today
Hundreds of INMO members as well as medical and non-medical staff are protesting outside the hospital this afternoon in a row over pay and conditions.
37,000 nurses and midwives, including over 1,000 in Cork are picketing today after talks between the INMO, government and the HSE broke down on Monday.
The Health Minister Simon Harris says the government is willing to find a resolution but has ruled out any changes to current pay agreements.
Speaking to RedFM News outside CUH today, midwife Naomi O'Dovovan says frontline staff are under considerable strain.
