TRADE UNIONS MEET WITH HEALTH MINISTER ROBIN SWANN

Trade Unions today have had a meaningful briefing with the Minister for Health in advance of his address to the Assembly.

We expect correspondence from the Minister on the two substantial issues in the current dispute, pay parity and safe staffing.

Tomorrow we will spend time at the Department for Health considering the details on what is required for the restoration of pay parity.

We will take the Minister’s correspondence to our respective executives this week and thereafter regional trade unions will make a public statement.
