More to bear: The MCA vice-president said the extended hours could severely jeopardise the well-being of nurses.
PETALING JAYA: The imposition of a 45-hour work week for nurses starting Dec 1 is an unacceptable escalation of their already overwhelming workload, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Jeck Seng.
The MCA vice-president and Tanjung Piai MP said these extended hours could dramatically worsen the chronic issue of overworked nurses, severely jeopardising their well-being and efficiency.
