The head of the UK's biggest nursing union tells the PM 'meaningful offers' could avert strike action.
The head of the UK's biggest nursing union has urged Rishi Sunak to make a new pay offer to avoid next week's planned strikes in England going ahead.
Citing pay negotiations in Wales and Scotland, she said a renewed offer or fresh talks could halt the action.Welsh NHS staff suspended strike action"Yesterday, the Welsh Government made an offer of an additional 3% for the current financial year," she wrote. "Your government looks increasingly isolated in refusing to reopen 2022/23," she said, adding she had made it clear in meetings with England's Health Secretary Steve Barclay "that opening negotiations and making meaningful offers can avert strike action".
Ms Cullen urged Mr Sunak to "use this weekend to reset your government in the eyes of the public" and show it is "on the side of the hardworking, decent taxpayer" by bringing the dispute to an end.
