5. To ask the Minister for Health given the decision by members of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation to initiate industrial action on 15 December 2015, the steps he is taking to address the real crisis across our hospital network, specifically through the recruitment of additional staff, including consultants, nurses and midwives, and the provision of additional bed capacity through the re-opening of closed beds and the introduction of new bed numbers, both within existing build, and through planned expansion; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
