NIPSA has called on working class people to stand united in defence of our public services.
Ministers must be prepared to bust the Budget rather than make workers pay the price for continued underfunding.

Longer journeys for families. More pressure on already stretched staff at Craigavon.
Moving services doesn’t remove demand. Our health service cannot keep being asked to do more with less.
We need investment, not further cuts. Enough is enough.

The new Mental Health (NI) Order 1986 Revised Code of Practice came into operation on the 1st September. However, its introduction, and specifically the Art 130 element, has already caused significant concerns. Read our Branch Statement here: nipsa730.org.uk/wp/2026/09/0…

Enough Is Enough – Stop the Cuts to Health and Social Care.
Health & Social Care organisations have been told to find 12% "savings".
After years of cuts and understaffing, let's call it what it is: cuts, not efficiencies.

Health Ministers will come and go but with what is happening in our Health Service, and unresolved issues of HSC pay and reform and massive savings currently happening across all HSC Trusts, this does seem to be particularly bad timing. #NHS
Ahead of its publication, our thoughts today are with the individuals and families of those abused at Muckamore Abbey Hospital. We hope those who were abused and their families get answers and justice. #Muckamore

At a time when tensions can be exploited, this message matters more than ever - we are stronger together, and our shared future depends on inclusion, equality and justice for everyone.

It is utterly reprehensible the delivery of health services to communities across Northern Ireland have been profoundly impacted by racist thugs intent on sowing division, fear and destruction of local amenities and services. Nothing justifies putting the lives of people at risk.
