The Labour Court recommended that the Eastern Health Board continue reviewing night staffing at its Grosvenor Road high-support hostel, in consultation with staff. The recommendation was signed 2 October 1996. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union and the Psychiatric Nurses Association sought a second nurse on night duty, citing staff safety concerns and the needs of residents. The Board said it had installed a security system and had previously increased staffing when service needs required it. The Court did not recommend conceding the claim for an additional nurse at that time. It recommended that staffing be monitored and reviewed to support a safe working environment and care for residents.
