Following extensive lobbying by the INMO and its members, we have been notified by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform that it has confirmed to the Department of Health the sanction to apply the revised PHN/CNM2/CNMM2 salary scale to the linked grades. We have been advised that the formal documentation will go to the Department of Health early next week to action this sanction. 

Over 67,452 patients, including 1,418 children, have been admitted into Irish hospitals so far in 2024 according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation. 

The INMO will commence a consultation period with its members paid at CNM/M 2 salary grade – i.e.  CNS and CMS, CPCs and all other CNM2 analogous grades in the public sector.  As you are aware the Expert Review Body on Nursing and Midwifery recommended to extend the revised PHN/CNM2/CNS salary scale by the addition of one further scale point and the introduction of a Long Service Increment.

Over 9,437 patients, including 70 children were admitted to hospital without a bed in the month of June according to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation. 

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has welcomed the decision by the Minister for Health to re-instate the Special Scheme of Paid Leave for certain eligible public health sector employees suffering from Long COVID for the next twelve months.

Tuesday July 2nd at 6.30pm; Join us to discuss alignment of the CNM/CMM2 and CNS/CMS and CPC pay scales.
