The development was confirmed by HSB chairman Paulinus Sikosana on Tuesday night. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- He said the nurses who are not working the normal hours will not be paid and the board has instituted disciplinary action against them. Said Sikosana: > We have removed 1 032 nurses from the paysheet. They defied a Government directive and we were left with no option. The affected nurses, most of who were on the staff of central hospitals, face a variety of penalties depending on charges and circumstances. These include dismissal or being placed on fixed-term contracts if they return as part of a proposed restructuring of the public health sector. The HSB employees between 16 000 and 18 000 nurses and this imply that less than 8 per cent of the nursing staff will be affected by the twin developments. Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa told a post-cabinet media briefing on Tuesday that the Zimbabwe Nurses Association (ZINA) has defied Government’s directive to terminate the flexi hours arrangement which has left authorities with no option. *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
