The National Education Health and Allied Workers Union on Wednesday accused the Western Cape Health Department of wasting resources and failing nursing students.

NEHAWU spokesperson Sizwe Pamla said as a union they are angry that the department does not offer nursing students permanent employment. 

Pamla said that they do despite the fact that there are a lot of funded vacancies within the health department in the province.

Pamla adds that they have so far failed to fill those vacancies.

Pamla said as NEHAWU they will be sitting sown with the department and explaining to them, telling them how disappointed they are and Pamla adds that in all this they hope to find a common ground regarding all the factors they have been facing so far.
