With normality restored to the health sector, Cabinet is slated to discuss a new payment plan for nurses when it meets tomorrow.

Members of the Nurses' Association of Jamaica (NAJ) yesterday ended a two-day protest action after a meeting on Friday with Minister of Labour Pearnel Charles, Health Minister Rudyard Spencer, and Minister of State in the Ministry of Labour Andrew Gallimore.

The ministers assured the NAJ that a proposal would be made to Cabinet when it meets on Monday about the payment of outstanding allowances, and the date for the implementation of the reclassification exercise.

According to the labour ministry, the new proposal will be worked out after consultation with the Ministry of Finance.

The nurses are expected to get an update when they meet again at the labour ministry on Wednesday.

Several nurses stayed off the job on Thursday and Friday to back their demand for a speedy implementation of the recommendation from the reclassification exercise.

A number of hospitals were forced to implement emergency measures as they struggled to offer services with the majority of nurses absent.
