Everything you need to know about the industrial action being taken by NHS nurses across December.
The Royal College of Nursing announced national strikes – the first in its 106-year history – on 15 and 20 December amid its ongoing pay dispute with the government, after ministers claimed the 19% pay rise demanded was unaffordable.
In response to the plans, Barclay himself said that he was “hugely grateful” for the hard work of nurses and deeply regretted the need for industrial action. However, he again refused to open formal discussions, describing the RCN’s demands as “not affordable”. The RCN will announce which particular NHS employers will be affected next week, when formal notifications are submitted, it said.Mental health: England is facing a ‘second pandemic’ of anxiety and depression – and the NHS is struggling to cope
