The ballot by the Royal College of Nursing means two of Shropshire's NHS trusts will be preparing for industrial action.
Nursing staff at both the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, near Oswestry, and Shropshire Community Health Trust voted to take strike action.
Although it has not been confirmed it is possible that not enough of the trust’s staff took part in the ballot to make it legal. The RCN said the ballot came after NHS Agenda for Change pay announcements earlier this year, “left experienced nurses 20 per cent worse off in real terms compared to 10 years earlier”.Daniel Kawczynski, MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham, praised nurses for their efforts butRCN general secretary and chief executive Pat Cullen said: “Anger has become action – our members are saying enough is enough. The voice of nursing in the UK is strong and I will make sure it is heard.
