“The union has also secured an additional thirty new posts to cover additional services.
“A full review of all nurse staffing will begin at the hospital this week against the safe staffing framework.
“The nurses in Naas General Hospital appreciate the immense amount of support they received from the public in Naas and the wider Kildare area this week, particularly during lunch time protests.
“The Dispute Committee at Naas General Hospital have recommended that members are balloted on proposals next week.”
