Nurses will hold a work stoppage outside public hospitals on Thursday to protest understaffing, union representatives announced on Tuesday.
The stoppage will be from noon to 1pm and will include nurses who are members of Pasydy and Pancypriot nurses union Pasyno.
Speaking to Trito radio, Pasyno spokesman Theodoros Petelis, called Okypys claim that there is no issue of understaffing in public hospitals, alarming.
He recalled that a year ago, the same organisation had agreed that hospitals were 140 nurses short.
Petelis said that Okypys officials have become unreliable and indicated that if the problem is not resolved, other measures will be announced.
It is noted that Thursdays protest will not disrupt the normal running of hospitals as only off-duty nurses and those who work in departments that do not affect patient services will participate.
