90 Nursing Staff To Be Recruited At Mullingar Hospital
Fine Gael TD for Longford/ Westmeath, Gabrielle McFadden, has said the 90 new nursing staff to be recruited at Mullingar Hospital is a hugely significant development following ongoing concerns about overcrowding and staff shortages at the hospital.
She said: "The need for these nurses, comprising a range of specialities, is long overdue and I want to acknowledge the constructive discussions which have taken place between the HSE and the INMO.
"I have consistently raised the issue of staff shortages with the Minister for Health, the HSE and hospital management along with the need to expedite the recruitment of nurses to help alleviate overcrowding.
"While addressing the issue of overcrowding long-term is a complex one, it is also very clear that the Midlands Regional Hospital is suffering staff shortages in key areas.
"I am pleased that nurses at the coalface were listened to when they said that staff resources must be provided to help alleviate the situation."
