爱尔兰护士抗议人手短缺, 以患者安全风险为例, Irish nurses protest staffing shortages, citing patient safety risks amid rising emergency visits and burnout.

爱尔兰Naas总医院的护士因人手短缺而威胁停工,爱尔兰护理和助产士组织(INMO)从星期一开始开展工作到规则运动。 Nurses at Naas General Hospital in Ireland are threatening work stoppages over staffing shortages, with the Irish Nursing and Midwives Organisation (INMO) conducting a work-to-rule campaign since Monday. 工会表示,尽管人口有所增加,附近疗养院的需求增加,但人员配备跟不上三年来紧急部门出勤人数25%的增长。 The union says staffing has not kept pace with a 25% rise in emergency department attendances over three years, despite population growth and increased demand from nearby nursing homes. 未填补空缺的产假职位和不断增加的工作量导致燃烧、无酬加班以及对病人安全和尊严的关切。 Unfilled maternity leave positions and rising workloads have led to burnout, unpaid overtime, and concerns about patient safety and dignity. 尽管卫生服务执行局（HSE）承认这些问题，指出近期人员增加，并表示仍开放谈判，但INMO认为当前提案不足，要求紧急、具体的解决方案。 While the Health Service Executive (HSE) acknowledges the issues, notes recent staffing increases, and says it remains open to talks, the INMO calls current proposals insufficient and demands urgent, concrete solutions. 争端的核心是病人的安全,而不是工资。 The dispute centers on patient safety, not pay.
