Nurses worked more than 45 hours a week even before proposed new work hours, says Deputy Health Minister


KUALA LUMPUR: Nurses have been carrying out their duties for over 45 hours a week even before the 45-hour work week was introduced, says Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni (pic).

The Deputy Health Minister said this was due to previous work hours not accounting for break times and the unofficial passing over report times.
