NHS staff have been urged to call off walkouts as Health Secretary Steve Barclay enters last-ditch talks with unions
Speaking ahead of the strike, RCN chief executive Pat Cullen said: "The Prime Minister should ask himself what is motivating nursing staff to stand outside their hospitals for a second day so close to Christmas.
"Rishi Sunak is under growing pressure in Westminster following last Thursday's strike and he should listen to people around him. "Let's get this wrapped up by Christmas. I will negotiate with him at any point to stop nursing staff and patients going into the new year facing such uncertainty. He said he was "incredibly disappointed" by the industrial action bringing key services to a halt, "particularly at Christmas, particularly when it impacts people’s health".
