Union claim for 10 days’ leave for health staff could cost €377m, HSE estimates

A Labour Court recommendation on Wednesday said the Health Service Executive had estimated that a claim for 10 days’ additional leave by unions for healthcare workers could cost at least €377 million. To discuss this further Ciara was joined by Eamon Donnelly, Head of health and welfare division Forsa. Listen and subscribe to Newstalk Breakfast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
