Rishi Sunak refuses to offer NHS workers new pay deal after Royal College of Nursing rejected 'last offer'
The nurses who have been walking out in recent weeks rejected the pay-rise as well as a bonus of between £1,655 and £3,789 depending on pay.
The Royal College of Nursing announced that its members will walk out from 8pm on 30 April to 8pm on 2 May, affecting the bank holiday weekend, after the unsuccessful ballot - which saw 54% of respondents vote no. RCN general secretary Pat Cullen wrote to Health Secretary Steve Barclay to inform him of the fresh strike action before the end of the month, and seek urgent re-opening of talks with the Government.
The new strike will also involve nursing staff working in emergency departments, intensive care units, cancer care and other services that were previously exempt, the RCN said. The letter continued: "What has been offered to date is simply not enough. The Government needs to increase what has already been offered and we will be highly critical of any move to reduce it.Nurses have announced a new wave of strikes after the pay offer rejected.
