Pure genius
Article Abstract:
The Irish Nurses' Organisation (INO) general secretary P. J. Madden has called for an increase in salaries for ward managers of up to 20% in an attempt to reduce the number of nurses leaving the service. Irish nursing has been offered up to 80 million Irish pounds extra as part of an overall strategy to retain staff, improve working conditions and prevent a threatened strike. The INO believe an extra 2,000 nurses are required to fill the profession's shortfall, with up to 1,000 nurses needed in the area of Dublin.

Homa's team of nurses, doctors and managers will focus on the waiting list objective and also seek to identify ways of improving how patient care is delivered.
