Statement from Anne Speed, Head of Bargaining and Representation at UNISON NI:

"The specific decisions of the Industrial Action meeting of all branches on Monday, December 16th last are as follows:

Action short of strike by all UNISON members willing to take such action continues on until January 31st. Legal notices have been served on all Trusts and arms-length bodies to that effect.

The political scenario is very fluid at the moment, so we will continue to monitor and intervene on the issues in our dispute where appropriate. If there are significant developments, we will reconvene that meeting as soon as is practicable to consider responses and review our plans."
