We’re spotlighting key themes at our European Parliament conference as part of the Coalition Santé #elections campaign. Just a few of the themes:

✅ Public funding over private interests
✅ Social protection NOT for sale
✅ Accessible healthcare for ALL

#WorldHealthDay

Healthcare workers play a critical role in society.

📻SIPTU 's Mark Quinn spoke to Drivetime RTE about the anger felt by members in St. Conlon's CNU about the HSE's plan to use a long-awaited community nursing home in Nenagh for another purpose.

Our members won't stand for outsourcing.

SIPTU members in St. Conlon’s Community Nursing Unit in Nenagh have expressed deep concern at reports that a new building that was to cater for residents may instead be used as a step-down facility, managed by a private provider.
