The action comes as voters prepare to go to the polls across Northern Ireland for the local elections
Nurses are set to hold a demonstration today to voice their anger over 'the lack of political leadership and accountability' for Northern Ireland's health service.
“The health and social care system in Northern Ireland is being decimated. The financial position is desperate, and it is impossible to progress transformation or other long-term measures that are urgently required. The cuts to nurse training confirmed by the Department of Health will devastate patient care for years to come.
“Fair pay for nursing and safe staffing are supported by all the main political parties in Northern Ireland. But if they are not sitting round the table, they are not in a position to address these issues. We need all elected politicians to be fully engaged in resolving the crisis within health and social care.”
