Nurses' strike: Union accuses minister of belligerence after talks fail Talks to avert strike action by nurses have failed, with the union accusing the health secretary of "belligerence".
The head of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), Pat Cullen, said strikes in England, Wales and Northern Ireland would now go ahead on Thursday, after Steve Barclay refused to discuss pay.
The government said it would continue to engage on non-pay related issues. BBC News
