Talks are to be held with senior management at the Health Service Executive (HSE) and the Department of Health in an attempt to resolve a dispute over the recruitment and retention of nurses and midwives.
Paul Bell, SIPTU Health Division Organiser, said: "Unfortunately, we have been here before and our members will need to see immediate action if they are to have full confidence in the proposals that have emerged from these talks.
"We believe that the Minister for Health, Simon Harris is obliged to ensure that the key terms of these proposals are implemented in full and must involve himself in the promised oversight of the process to recruit nursing and midwifery professionals.
"It is obvious that more work needs to be done to address the legitimate concerns of our members, and in this regard, we see a definite role for the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC)."
John McCamley, SIPTU Organiser, added: "After difficult and intense negotiations over the past number of weeks, a structure that can lay the foundations to restore nursing and midwifery staffing levels is potentially in place.
"The document offers additional scope for enhanced recruitment, enhanced educational opportunities and includes an assurance from management that all graduate nurses and midwives will be offered permanent jobs.
"We are cautiously hopeful that this provides an opportunity to begin to meaningfully tackle the deficit in nursing and midwifery staffing levels."
