The Royal College of Nursing's Northern Ireland director, Rita Devlin, described the move as an "act of destruction". The department said it recognised the importance of staffing and was committed to 1,025 new nursing places., which included provision for an extra 300 nurse training places each year to address staff shortages and concerns over safety.But Ms Devlin said the news of cuts had left members "bewildered" and would have consequences for years.
