A&E and cancer staff join 48hr nurse super strike - FULL LIST of affected hospitals

Nurses have announced details of a 48-hour walkout that will include A&E and cancer staff for the first time.

Hospitals across England will face unprecedented disruption as the strikes takes place in a fortnight.

The Royal College of Nursing announced the fresh action after its members rejected the Government’s pay offer.

It will now hold a vote of members on a further six months of possible strikes across England.

The walkouts may be timed to coincide with industrial action by junior doctors, maximising disruption to the NHS.

The RCN tonight announced its members had rejected the proposed pay deal, with 54% opposed and 46% in support. The turnout was 61%.

The wage deal included a 5% pay rise this year and a cash payment for last year.

Rishi Sunak, who had boasted that he was bringing an end to this winter’s wave of industrial action, now faces a summer of discontent.

RCN general secretary Pat Cullen, who had recommended the deal to members, tonight wrote to Health Secretary Steve Barclay to seek an urgent re-opening of talks.

The country's largest nursing union said it will hold a round-the-clock 48-hour strike from 8pm on Sunday 30 April to 8pm on Tuesday 2 May, including the Bank Holiday Monday.

It will be the most intense action to date as it will involve nursing staff working in emergency departments, intensive care units, cancer care and other services that were previously exempt.

The 48-hour strike will also take place at Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust)

In her letter to Mr Barclay, Ms Cullen wrote: "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.

"Since our talks in February, we have seen the pressures on the NHS continue to increase. The crisis in our health and care services cannot be addressed without significant action that addresses urgent recruitment and retention issues and nursing pay to bring this dispute to a close urgently."

The union leader added: "Until there is a significantly improved offer, we are forced back to the picket line.

"Meetings alone are not sufficient to prevent strike action and I will require an improved offer as soon as possible. In February, you opened negotiations directly with me and I urge you to do the same now.

"After a historic vote to strike, our members expect a historic pay award."

Hospital trusts have urged ministers to avert the fresh strikes by nurses.

Adam Brimelow of NHS Providers said: "It’s really important that the unions and government find a way through this to prevent more strikes and let the NHS focus on its big challenges including cutting waiting lists and transforming services, instead of having to resort to ‘all hands on deck’ just to get through the day."

Members of Unison, which represents health workers including ambulance staff, voted overwhelmingly to accept the pay offer.

The union announced that 74% of those who voted backed the deal. The turnout was 52% among Unison's 288,000 members in England.
