NHS nurse strike dates have been revealed
The Royal College of Nursing announced its members will stage their first ever national walk out on December 15 and 20.
The RCN said that despite a pay rise of around £1,400 awarded in the summer, experienced nurses are worse off by 20% in real terms due to successive below-inflation awards since 2010.'Infuriating': NHS hospitals spending an eye-watering £2,500 for a single nurse's shift, as staffing shortages spiralPicture: Alamy
The RCN said the economic argument for paying nursing staff fairly was clear when billions of pounds was being spent on agency staff to plug workforce gaps. Midwives and physiotherapists are also voting on strikes, while a ballot of junior doctors opens in the new year.
