NHS nurses are set to carry out two days of strike action.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN), which represents two thirds of NHS nurses, will stage its first ever national walkout on December 15 and 20 as Health Secretary Steve Barclay refuses to even discuss pay. The industrial action will happen between 8am to 8pm on both days.
The union warned they have had “enough of being taken for granted”. The union, which has more than 300,000 members, will announce next week which hospitals will be affected when formal notifications are submitted.
