Proposed agreement overwhelmingly rejected by IMO public health service members
‘New health service realities’ brought about by pandemic not recognised in agreement
Members of the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) who work in the public health services including hospital consultants, non consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs), Public Health Doctors (PHDs) and Community Health Doctors have voted overwhelmingly (95%) to reject the new Public Service Agreement –
Building Momentum.
The proposed agreement is intended to serve as an updated extension to the framework of previous public service agreements, including the most recent – the Public Service Stability Agreement (2018 – 2020) – which was due to expire on December 31 2020.
The Council of the IMO recommended to members that they reject the agreement.
