Nurses are due to strike in England, Wales and Northern Ireland on Thursday and Tuesday 20 December. The Royal College of Nursing union insists cancer patients will get emergency and clinically urgent surgery during the action.
In their correspondence, the chief nursing officer for England, and her counterparts in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, wrote to Ms Cullen raising a series of concerns about patient safety.
They wrote that"there are examples of some trusts being asked to submit derogation forms for chemotherapy and organisations now preparing to reschedule chemotherapy from 15th and 20th December". "This letter is already out of date, as we have met senior clinicians today and agreed key points. The safety of patients is everybody's top concern," the union's spokesperson said.
