Industrial action is hitting some Yorkshire hospitals in a dispute about pay and staffing levels.
Nurses in Yorkshire are joining colleagues across England, Wales and Northern Ireland for a second day of industrial action.The RCN says nurses deserve a pay rise of 19%, but the Prime Minister says such a big increase would be unaffordable.Susan Dodsworth, from the Royal College of Nursing, said nurses feel "let down".
She added: "If [the pay review body] was truly independent they would have listened to what we had to say and responded accordingly. "But that's not been the case, so we are where we are and we have lots of nursing vacancies, patient care is being affected and nurses being upset and angry.""For nurses to get to the point where they feel they have no option but to withdraw their labour is a sad indictment on the times."
