Nurses reject a minister's plea to pause a strike, including by staff in emergency care, in two weeks' time.
Nurses will "absolutely not" pause a 48-hour strike in England over the first May bank holiday, says the Royal College of Nursing - and it warns action could continue until Christmas
Asked whether it is was a final offer, he said the government needed to wait to see what other heath service unions involved in the pay dispute decided in their own ballots - and pointed out that it has already been accepted by members of Unison. The strike will involve NHS nurses in emergency departments, intensive care, cancer and other wards, which would be a first as the previous nurses' strike in February included exemptions to maintain staffing in critical areas.
