Hospitals in Yorkshire will be affected.
A host of leading hospitals will be affected in next month's nurse strikes, the Royal College of Nursing says.Overall, more than a quarter of hospitals and community services in England and nearly all those in Northern Ireland and Wales will see nurses walkout on 15 and 20 December.In total, 76 NHS organisations will see nurses walk out.
The RCN warned the government if a deal could not be agreed more services would be involved in the strike action next year. But it seems almost certain the walkout will increase the backlog in non-urgent hospital treatment - a record seven million people are already on the waiting list in England. For the forthcoming strikes the union's leadership has decided to only announce walkouts in around half of those eligible to take action.
During the ballot - the results of which were announced two weeks ago - the RCN had argued this year's below-inflation pay award came after years of squeezes on nurse's salaries.He has said the government had met the recommendations of the independent NHS Pay Review Body in giving its award.
