Double the number of nurses will be asked to strike in early February in a bid to increase pressure on the Government, union leaders have warned.
This comes as ministers push for new laws requiring minimum levels of service on strike days – legislation which is expected to take around six months to pass through Parliament.RCN general secretary Pat Cullen described Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s position in their negotiation deadlock as “baffling, reckless and politically ill-considered”.

The RCN has said the next strike is likely to be on February 6, to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Robert Francis inquiry into Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust and the impact of nurse shortages on patient mortality.
