Radiographers in Counties Manukau are taking industrial action.

Staff at Middlemore Hospital and the Manukau Superclinic have given notice of action from today through to March 29. It is the latest in a series of measures being taken by medical radiation technologists nationwide and comes after nine months of negotiation. Staff are seeking a cost of living increase of two to three percent.

The Counties Manukau DHB says some services will be disrupted, particularly at the Emergency Department where X-ray, CT and MRI scans will be operating at a reduced capacity.
