The HSE in the Mid West is advising patients and clients that they may experience difficulty in making contact with HSE services due to continued industrial action this week.

IMPACT has confirmed that action will take place in the HSE West area from 9am until 1pm on Tuesday, March 23rd. The Union has agreed to grant derogations for switchboards and for all direct line emergency services such as Emergency Departments. It has also agreed to direct their members to screen calls related to critical services on an hourly basis to establish whether a direct action is required.

The HSE says it will continue to monitor the situation closely and will take all necessary steps to minimise the impact of industrial action on its patients and clients.  The Executive  reiterated its commitment to ensuring patient safety is not compromised by any form of industrial action and stressed that patient safety must remain a priority at all times for the organisation, unions and staff.
