INO question cuts in public service
The Irish Nurses Organisation say that the decision announced in today's budget, to reduce the number of public sector jobs, means that the Government's own Health Strategy will not be delivered by 2003.
The INO say that they will be looking for immediate confirmation from the Minister for Health and Children on how the service cuts will be introduced.
INO General Secretary Liam Doran also is now questioning how the quality of health service will stay if the numbers of workers are reduced.
