The Labour Court upheld a €10,000 compensation payment to a worker at Mid West Regional Hospital after rejecting her appeal over an upgrading claim. Its decision was dated 21 February 2008. The worker, a theatre manager in Limerick, sought appointment as assistant director of nursing under revised theatre management grades. SIPTU argued the relevant structures were not in place when agreement was reached; the HSE said an assistant director was already in post. The Court accepted evidence that the structures had been in place at the hospital since 2000.
