James Reilly, minister for health, said yesterday if a deal is not reached with hospital consultants on reforms and efficiencies by Sunday night the issues will be referred to the Labour Court for a binding resolution.
Adding that there was a determination in Government that the process for securing greater efficiencies and reforms from hospital consultants could not drag on.
