Recruitment restrictions and suppressed posts by the Health Service Executive (HSE) have been criticised for placing services under strain and jeopardising patient safety. Union leaders have called the current situation unsustainable and are meeting to finalise strategies for industrial action. The HSE has labelled these plans as regrettable, pointing to its Pay and Numbers Strategy as evidence of workforce stabilisation. However, unions argue that the measures fall short of addressing the systemic crisis in staffing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcrm.etui.org\u002Fcivicrm\u002Fmailing\u002Furl?u=85327&amp;qid=3950785\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcrm.etui.org\u002Fcivicrm\u002Fmailing\u002Furl?u=85327&amp;qid=3950785\">in English…\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
