Nurses to hold lunchtime protest at UHG over staff shortages and overcrowding

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Nurses are to stage a lunchtime protest on Monday at UHG in a bid to highlight concerns over staffing shortages and overcrowding.

The group will also stage protests at Cork University Hospital and Limerick University Hospital on Tuesday as part of a national drive to highlight growing concerns.

It's after a meeting at the Workplace Relations Commission this week revealed that the HSE does not have a special plan to deal with extra patients this winter.

The meeting also heard 169 nursing jobs haven't yet been filled - despite having funding - while no decisions been made on how to guarantee replacements for nurses who are on maternity leave.
