“We have strike action for the end of this month and the beginning of May. Then we will move immediately to ballot our members,” Ms Cullen told BBC’s“If that ballot is successful it will mean further strike action right up until Christmas.”Health Secretary Steve Barclay61 per cent of RCN members rejected the government’s offer of a 5 per cent rise this year with a one-off cash payment in addition to last year’s pay settlement, which Ms Cullent described as a “bribe”.
“This is a very, very reasonable offer. It’s fair to NHS workers, it’s fair to other public sector workers and it’s fair to the taxpayer,” he said. He refused to back the escalation by the RCN, telling Sky News: “There just aren’t circumstances in which I’m going to sit on your programme and say I think it’s right to remove cover for emergency care, for cancer care. I think that would be the wrong thing to do.”
