Nurses in the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) union have voted for its first UK-wide strike in its 106-year history.
The action will involve RCN members in more than half of hospitals and community teams, but emergency care will still be staffed.
The prime minister said the health secretary would sit down with unions to "see how we can resolve this". BBC News
