A striking Liverpool nurse who has worked in the NHS for nearly a quarter of a century said she was being paid better 14 years ago than she is today.
Kath Monks was one of thousands of nurses who walked out on strike across Merseyside today in the historic first day of a nationwide strike by the Royal College of Nursing.
Picket lines were held at hospitals across the city as nurses called for better pay and conditions and spoke of working in dangerous, under-staffed hospitals where patients cannot be given proper care.
