Nurses out on strike in half of England’s NHS

Nurses in England are taking part in a fresh strike in what they describe as their biggest walkout so far. The Royal College of Nursing strike affects half of England's NHS trusts and will last until midnight on Monday. A quarter of trusts involved in the strike have been given extra exemptions for services such as transplant and cardiac care - to allow them to call some striking nurses in because they have not been able to find other staff to fill the rotas. Members of the Unite union at some NHS trusts and ambulance services in England are also taking part in strike action on Monday and Tuesday, after also voting to reject the latest pay offer. NHS England said the strike was the largest industrial action so far and warned patients to expect "Disruptions and delays to services over the strike period".
