Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services Staff: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Peter Hughes:

We had a dispute in 2016 on recruitment and retention of nurses. Eventually, we got an agreement but we had to ballot for industrial action and take industrial action to get it. One of the outcomes was that we were assured the steps outlined on page 1 would take a maximum of 28 days. I assure the committee that those steps take approximately three to four months.
