The management at the North Central Regional Health Authority (NCRHA) has been forcing nurses and midwifery staff to work alone on hospital wards.

So said president of the Trinidad and Tobago National Nursing Association (TTNNA) Idi Stuart.

Stating the action by the NCRHA is their response to the April 28 roll-out of phase two measures by the TTNNA, where nurses have been advised to perform their duties under a strict nurse-to-patient ratio, Stuart called on NCRHA chairman Dr Tim Goopeesingh to account for the alleged practice and operation within the authority.
