Graduate nursing roles approved for Mayo University Hospital
The announcement was welcomed by politicans in Mayo.
14 new graduate nursing roles have been approved for Mayo University Hospital.
The announcement was made by Mayo Senator Mark Duffy on Wednesday evening.
The approval is part of 184 graduate nurse posts across the region.
In a post on social media, Senator Duffy said: "Glad to receive confirmation from Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD that an additional 14 nurses have been approved for Mayo University Hospital tonight.
"This is a welcomed announcement and one that will help add much needed resources to Mayo’s county hospital and outcomes for patients across Mayo.
"My thanks to the minister for her ongoing engagement & support in addressing challenges that need attention in Mayo."
The announcement follows concern over reports that nursing and midwifery recruitment at the hospital had been put on hold because of budgetary constraints.
