Labour Court recommends Galway University Hospitals clarify worker’s transfer

The Labour Court recommended that Galway University Hospitals confirm in writing to the Irish Nurses & Midwives Organisation that a worker’s transfer was not disciplinary and implied no culpability. The recommendation was signed on 21 May 2012. An independent investigation found that specific complaints against the worker and a colleague could not be upheld. Management transferred all three staff members after relationship difficulties in Radiology raised concerns about patient care. The Court found the transfers were for department management, not discipline.
