The Psychiatric Nurses Association has announced that it will ballot members for industrial action over the Health Service Executive's recruitment embargo.
The PNA said the ballot for industrial action, up to and including strike, reflects the frustration of members at a recent HSE memo announcing derogations to the recruitment embargo that did not include mental health services. "The provision of basic psychiatric services throughout the country, including Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services is reliant on both overtime and agency."
"It is essential that the recruitment of Psychiatric / Mental Health Nurses is exempt from the recruitment freeze, as a matter of urgency," he added.
