An urgent meeting has been held to ease the tension between the nurses union and South Australian Government over its Transforming Health overhaul. The Nursing and Midwifery Federation lost patience after the so-called “implementation schedule” documents arrived last week failed to provide the detail it was looking for. It wrote to Health Minister Jack Snelling stating it was “deeply concerned by the lack of meaningful information and detailed timeframes listed in these documents”. Union state secretary Elizabeth Dabars said the uncertainty had placed nurses under stress.
