Nurses to go on strike for two days next month after government rejects pay terms
Nurses will stage their first ever national walkout next month in an escalation of the ongoing NHS pay dispute.
RCN General Secretary Pat Cullen said: “Ministers have had more than two weeks since we confirmed that our members felt such injustice that they would strike for the first time. 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.
Other health unions are also balloting workers for industrial action, while ambulance staff in Scotland are due to walk out on Monday. Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said: “I am hugely grateful for the hard work and dedication of nurses and deeply regret some union members will be taking industrial action.
“Our priority is keeping patients safe. The NHS has tried and tested plans in place to minimise disruption and ensure emergency services continue to operate.”
