There is public outcry this morning after the HSE have confirmed they have suspended the recruitment of doctors, nurses and midwives in hospitals with immediate effect.
The struggling health service will no longer be hiring much needed staff after the state authority issued a memo to all Hospitals nationwide telling them not to employee any medical personal even if there is expressed interest.
Reports say the HSE purposely requested that all major Hospitals halt their recruitment process until after they conduct a full review into staffing and pay bill management.
The HSE released the following statement which reads: “Pending agreement and approval of a workforce plan for each hospital group, the groups have been advised of a requirement to pause on any further additions to payroll.
“While contractual commitments will need to be honoured, the groups have been advised that no further offers should be made without the signed agreement of the hospital group chief executive officer.”
