Staffing deficits continue to be raised by the Union with regards to the HSE’s Mental Health Services.

SIPTU attended a conciliation conference under the auspices of the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) on 24th October. The Union continued to highlight the impact of staffing deficits on our members and the provision of critical services.

The HSE committed to engaging with the Regional Executive Officer (REO) for each HSE Regional Health Area to provide accurate data on staffing in mental health services before the next WRC conference on the 26th of November.

SIPTU is also meeting HSE management including representatives from the Regional Executive Officers on 21st November.
