Prime minister is in Northern Ireland as Conservatives split over pay rise for nurses
Planned strikes next week will be “very challenging” for the health service, hospital bosses have warned, after they conceded that Thursday’s nurses strikes had had a “significant impact”.
The comments from NHS Providers came amid mounting pressure on the government from senior backbenchers and usually supportive newspapers to try to resolve the dispute.
The RMT leader believes compromise on conditions and an improvement in the pay offer are “achievable” after talks with the Government.
His members at 14 companies and Network Rail again walked out on Friday, crippling services across the country a day after an unprecedented nursing strike.
