Nurses are set to go on strike across Forth Valley for the first time in their history.
The action has been confirmed following a ballot of members from the Royal College of Nursing union, with nurses approving the move in every health board across the country as part of the ongoing dispute over pay and working conditions.
In Forth Valley, members voted decisively in favour of the landmark move - with 1,149 of the 1,201 votes cast in the region saying yes to heading out on strike.
