Nurses' Strike Ends as RCN Fails to Reach Voting Threshold for Continued Action

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has failed to reach the required 50% turnout threshold in a union ballot for strikes to continue for better pay.

Although 84% of those who voted backed more strikes, only 43% of members cast a vote.

The government has offered a pay rise and one-off payments to NHS staff, and the nurses' strike has ended.
