Student nurses and midwives have agreed to engage with the Government-proposed, independent reviews of their allowances and conditions, a nursing union has said.
The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) said student nurses were cautiously in favour of “guarded engagement” with the independent reviews.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly offered two reviews – details of which were finalised on Wednesday.
The INMO and students say they will feed into the review and reserve a final judgment until the outcomes are published.
The first review will focus on the immediate short term. It will report back to Mr Donnelly later this month for implementation next month, and be chaired by independent education expert Professor Tom Collins.
