CMNT_TITLE

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report, as well as the observation made by the Union of Health Professionals (TEHY) alleging subordination of nursing services to medical activity, insufficient wages, non-equality of payment between men and women, lay-offs and retrenchments within the health care system and the negative impact these factors produce in the employment relationships of the nursing sector. The Committee requests the Government to provide a response to these comments made by the TEHY.

The Committee is also addressing a direct request to the Government on certain points.
