I am very disappointed, and nurses are going to be very disappointed. The night shift is the most volatile shift and no other members of the multidisciplinary team are available. The onerous responsibility for providing the necessary care and the appropriate clinical environment falls on one nurse, and it is too much. Not many nurses would apply for such posts, but I will bring back the Minister's response to the nursing members at Cloverhill and we will engage with the unions to consider what further action should be taken. I am extremely disappointed, but I thank the Minister for his response.
