Tomorrow (24th August) UNISON, the largest union in the health service, will challenge all five Health Trust Boards to refuse to comply with a demand for a further £70m in cuts.
The Trusts have been asked by the Department of Health to produce these cuts, despite the absence of a Commissioning Plan, and in the face of financial crisis.
UNISON will remind all Trusts that they have both legal and moral obligations to the people of Northern Ireland and to the health service workforce.
