Dear members,

Our nationwide ballot on industrial action is ongoing, and to send a clear message we're demonstrating outside Midland Regional Hospital Mullingar. Tomorrow we’ll meet at 12.30pm 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, we opened a ballot on industrial action in October, and we're protesting outside hospitals around the country to raise awareness, along with colleagues from the INMO and SIPTU.

So, will you join us tomorrow? 

We’ll meet at the main entrance of Midland Regional Hospital Mullingar and the protest will run from 12.30pm to 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
