The Psychiatric  Nurses Association (PNA) has suspended its action due to begin  this evening where members would only work their contracted hours.

PNA has accepted an urgent referral  to the Labour Court at the request of the WRC.

There has been extensive contact between the PNA and the WRC in the past 24 hours during which some issues have been resolved with further  outstanding issues  to be referred to the Labour Court.

Over 200 nursing posts have been approved to alleviate the reliance on overtime and agency staff throughout the mental health services.
