The Royal College of Nursing says staff 'have had enough of being taken for granted, enough of low pay and unsafe staffing levels'.
The government says the nurses' pay demands are unreasonable. The nurses say they cannot afford to work like this any longer.
The government is putting out reassurance messages to allay patient fears - but nothing to say what will happen about missed appointments, scans, operations and other procedures. The nurses argue that only better pay will help recruitment and retention. There are thousands of vacancies - and nurses continue to leave the profession. Their colleagues say they are being asked to step in to fill those gaps by working longer and harder.
