Interim Health Minister Dr, Jona Baravilala (Left) and Interim PM Commodore Frank Bainimarama at the CWM Hospital today
Interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama said he is saddened by the Fiji Nursing Association's decision to try to cripple the health services in the country.
After visiting the CWM Hospital this afternoon, Commodore Bainimarama said the nurses are duty bound to be at the hospitals and it is sad to see what is happening in the country.
Commodore Bainimarama also said Nursing Association General Secretary Kuini Lutua is being totally irresponsible for leading the nurses out on strike.
The Permanent Secretary at the Public Service Commission Taina Tagicakibau said the FNA executives negotiated in bad faith with the interim government and they should come back to the negotiation table.
Tagicakibau calls on the nurses to realize that they will not be paid for the days they go on strike and they should return to the hospitals and health centres to serve the taxpayers of the country.
