Notice of strike action

The Saolta University Health Care Group has received notice of strike action from the Irish Nurses & Midwives Organisation (INMO). The first day of strike action is scheduled for Wednesday January 30th 2019 at 8am to Thursday 31st at 8am. Additional strike dates are notified for February 5th, 7th, 12th, 13th and 14th.

The HSE is negotiating with the INMO to secure the safest possible level of cover in health and social care services on that day.

The public are advised that the Saolta Group envisages significant disruption and cancellation of routine services in our hospitals

Where cancellations are taking place, the relevant hospital will make every effort to contact the service users affected.  We would ask the public to pay close attention to local and national media outlets for further updates.

The Saolta Group will make every effort to reduce the impact of this strike for the public and our staff.
