Nurses in England, Northern Ireland and Wales have commenced the first of two all-day strikes over pay and conditions. Life-preserving and urgent care will be provided but many routine appointments have been cancelled. The RCN union is demanding a 19% pay rise. The government say that demand is unaffordable and they have met independent recommendations on pay.
