- Health Service Recruitment Freeze: Motion [Private Members] (21 Nov 2023)
Brian Stanley: The embargo on recruitment has been described by the INMO as a kick in the teeth. The Government's decision in the budget to underfund our health service means that 7,000 essential posts have been scrapped, placing a huge burden of work on struggling front-line staff.
