Discussions between unions and government officials concerning staffing levels in the health sector concluded after extensive negotiations at the Workplace Relations Commission. With over 80,000 workers set to initiate work-to-rule actions, unions have proposed various initiatives, including the conversion of agency posts to permanent HSE jobs and commitment for future employment opportunities. This culminated in a push for collaborative proposals aimed at improving recruitment and retention processes especially for graduates in health and social care professions. Unions are hopeful for a constructive resolution after dialogue with health officials.
Phil Ní Sheaghdha, general secretary of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, expressed that the unions put forth 'sensible' proposals aimed at enhancing recruitment and retention processes.
Unions have called for urgent consideration of staffing level proposals, emphasizing that they do not interfere with existing HSE pay structures, indicating a focus on collaborative solutions.
