The government is continuing to refuse to negotiate with nursing unions over the pay offer for the 2022/23 financial year.
According to the Royal College of Nursing union, action was called off in Scotland as there was a commitment to an additional payment for the first three months of 2023.These proposals will be put to the members to see if they want to call off the strikes.
