NHS nurses are to strike again for two days in January unless pay talks are opened
Health Secretary Steve Barclay said he was "disappointed" by the decision to take further strike action. He said meeting unions' pay demands would mean money being taken away from frontline services, causing delays to patients' treatment.
But he insisted he had "acted fairly and reasonably" in accepting public sector pay recommendations and could not risk inflation rising any further.'Amazing public support'The union said it was scrapping the action next week so that "the public will be able to enjoy Christmas without additional anxiety".
The unions say they want the government to come to the table and negotiate pay in order to help retain staff and improve patient care.
