Nurses to suspend 48-hour strike as talks with government start

Nurses to suspend 48-hour strike as talks with government start Intensive talks are due to start later between ministers and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) after the union halted next week's 48-hour strike in England.

Health Secretary Stephen Barclay will sit down with RCN leader Pat Cullen to discuss a compromise deal to end the stand-off over pay.

The talks are likely to focus on next year's pay rise, which is due in April.

One option is to backdate it by several months, effectively giving nurses an extra pay boost for part of this year. BBC News
