Dear members,

This Thursday we’ll meet at 12.30pm outside Dr.Steevens Hospital to tell the HSE that enough is enough. We know that the current situation can’t go on any longer. Services and staff are suffering, and worst of all patients are suffering. 

In August, we asked you to tell us what impact the continuing situation in the HSE in relation to unfilled posts was having on you.

You told us about your inability to deliver services, the extensive waiting lists that continue to grow, and the significant impact this is having both on you and on the people you serve.

You were clear — this situation can’t go on any longer. But the HSE won’t engage with us. As a result, a ballot of members in relation to industrial action will open on Monday 14th October.

In advance of that we’re protesting outside hospitals around the country over the weeks ahead, along with the INMO and SIPTU.

So, will you join us tomorrow in Dublin?

We’ll be outside the HSE headquarters at Dr. Steevens Hospital, Dublin 8 from 12.30pm-1.15pm.

Join us to stand together and tell the HSE that our members' ability to deliver safe services has now been severely compromised. When we stand together our voices can’t be ignored.

See you tomorrow,

Ashley Connolly            Linda Kelly                               
Head of Division            National Secretary
