RCN says Manx Care must do more to retain and attract staff
A nursing union which represents Manx medical staff has raised concerns about government's plan to grow the population.
The Royal College of Nursing says to retain – and attract – nurses Manx Care needs to pay them better.
Earlier this week the union revealed that 55.5 per cent of members balloted about a recent four per cent pay offer were prepared to consider taking strike action.
Government's 15-year-strategy sets out plans for 100,000 residents by 2037 – but Carmel O'Boyle, the chair of RCN’'s North West regional board, says that needs careful consideration:
