Nurses launch legal action against NSW Government just days out from state election

The New South Wales nurses’ union has launched legal action against the State Government, just 10-days out from the state election. The Nurses and Midwives Association alleges it has ‘uncovered systemic and ongoing non-compliance, resulting in hundreds of thousands of missed nursing care hours.’ But the Premier is remaining adamant that the state’s health system is the strongest in the country.
