Nurses in Lanarkshire are set to strike after voting down the latest pay offer for NHS workers.
Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Scotland members rejected an average increase of 7.5 per cent. The union said it was planning for industrial action and would announce dates early next year.
The strikes are likely to severely impact all of Lanarkshire's three acute hospitals - Wishaw, Monklands and Hairmyres.
