The NHS says 'positive discussions' with the RCN mean nurses will cover some departments.
Union leaders have agreed nurses can be called in during Sunday's strike to provide a minimal level of staffing in intensive care and for trauma services.
NHS England said "positive discussions" with the RCN had resulted in agreements to ensure staff would provide cover.Sunday's strike is the largest industrial action so far, NHS England said, warning patients to expect "disruptions and delays to services over the strike period". These will cover intensive care units, including for neonatal and paediatric care, as well as major trauma and resuscitation units."These mitigations do not represent a return to standard staffing," said Dame Ruth May, chief nursing officer for England. "The industrial action will still have a very significant impact on services during the strike period and patients can expect to see longer waits for care.
Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, said the granting of exemptions was "progress".
