NHS staff have been urged to call off walkouts as Health Secretary Steve Barclay enters last-ditch talks with unions

Speaking ahead of the strike, RCN chief executive Pat Cullen said: "The Prime Minister should ask himself what is motivating nursing staff to stand outside their hospitals for a second day so close to Christmas.

"Rishi Sunak is under growing pressure in Westminster following last Thursday's strike and he should listen to people around him. "Let's get this wrapped up by Christmas. I will negotiate with him at any point to stop nursing staff and patients going into the new year facing such uncertainty. He said he was "incredibly disappointed" by the industrial action bringing key services to a halt, "particularly at Christmas, particularly when it impacts people’s health".

Barclay Sunak Hunt - polling shows theyre all set to lose their seats Tick tock Zero fir nurses These Tories will miss their expenses tho What HAVE they done woth our money?

He ‘ll go in offer zero Theyve lied about the Pay Review Body -Govt sets the parameters Theyve lied about the costs of the wage bill They set rotten PPE contracts against OUR NhS budget Tories idealogically hate the NHS want to monetise health care Bleed us dry Serve donors not🇬🇧

I'm not in favour of inflation causing pay increases but barristers and legal people got a very nice payrise this year and if people were honest they'd be useless

He'd better get a wiggle on then...... it's not as if he hasn't had plenty of time to do so up to now..... saving face I guess with being 26% behind in the polls
