39 New Nursing Posts To Be Created At Naas General Hospital

39 new nurses are to be recruited at Naas General Hospital.

Fine Gael TD for Kildare North, Anthony Lawlor, welcomed the news.

He said: "This announcement is most welcome considering the pressure the hospital has been under lately, especially in the Emergency Department (ED). I am delighted with the announcement that Naas General Hospital is to get an additional 39 staff.

"Having met regularly with management and staff at the hospital, one key issue was that they could not recruit in the way that Tallaght Hospital can and the recruitment through the National recruitment Service is not fit for purpose.

"Today's announcement allows the hospital to recruit locally in filling these posts and that's a very welcome development. I would encourage locals who may be looking for employment to apply directly to the hospital."
