The world-renowned children's hospital has 'serious' concerns over this weekend's nurses' strike.
Announcing the incident, Mat Shaw from GOSH said "these children have no voice in the debate and we must protect them"
During the strike from Sunday to Monday, nurses in the RCN union will not provide emergency care in A&E.But union leader Pat Cullen said mitigations were granted on Friday following a request from GOSH, insisting nurses working at the hospital would "never ever" leave child patients at risk. Ms Cullen said any suggestion that mitigations were not being put in place were "factually incorrect".She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "All of the exemptions that Great Ormond Street requested of the Royal College of Nursing were granted earlier yesterday.
The protocol surrounding exemptions requires the RCN to pass its approval on to NHS England, which is then responsible for notifying the individual organisation, Ms Cullen said.
