The Western Trust has received formal notification from a significant number of trade unions representing a wide range of staff groups of their intention to take industrial action on Thursday 18 January 2024. We anticipate industrial action will have a significant impact on many services provided in our hospital and community facilities. We have stood-up our industrial action planning, control and reporting arrangements and we are now actively supporting our services with assessment and planning to respond to significant expected disruption on this date.
Our message to patients and service users is that you should assume your appointment is cancelled unless you are contacted by the Trust to advise otherwise.
This page will be kept up-to-date.
