The Labour Court did not recommend that Southern Health Board grant radiographers’ claim for time off after Friday or Saturday night on-call work at Cork Regional Hospital. The recommendation was signed on 15 June 1993. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said radiographers had previously received a half day off after such shifts and that attendance books supported this. The board disputed that the arrangement had been approved, and said granting the claim could create staffing difficulties and require locum cover. The Court said the union’s submission did not warrant the claim and noted the board’s severe financial restraints.
