Galway Bay fm newsroom – Senior management from UHG are to meet with Impact trade union representatives on Thursday in a bid to lift the threat of strike action at the University Road campus.
It’s over plans to transfer the social work and physiotherapy departments to make way for an expanded accident and emergency unit.
The majority of staff impacted by the plan voted in favour of industrial action last month following a ballot.
Concerns focus on patient safety and the ability to maintain adequate standards of care as a centre of excellence.
The meeting takes place at 3pm on Thursday.
Impact’s Padraig Mulligan says it will also call for evidence of a clinical risk assessment.
