Speaking at the end of the Royal College of Nursing's second day of strike action, RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive Pat Cullen, said:
“Today, the Prime Minister looked out of step with the country he leads. But he could still make this the last nurse strike of his premiership.
“With the end of today’s strike, a clock is running for the Prime Minister. There are two days for us to meet and begin to turn this around by Christmas. By Friday, we will be announcing the dates and hospitals for a strike next month.
“Westminster may be shutting for Christmas tonight but nursing staff are readying for their shifts over the next two weeks and looking at the new year with trepidation. We are not looking for a miracle, just the fair pay and recognition that is in the Prime Minister’s gift.”
