Nurses in the Royal College of Nursing union have rejected the government's pay offer in England and will now go on strike over the first May bank holiday.
The government said that amounted to an escalation in strike action, "based on a vote from the minority of the nursing workforce". In the letter to Health Secretary Steve Barclay, she said the government "needs to increase what has already been offered and we will be highly critical of any move to reduce it".
But it said it was "hugely disappointing" that the RCN had rejected the pay deal recommended by their leadership. "I'm really glad that nurses have found their voice, and they're using their voice to fight for our patients and patient safety and fight for the NHS," he said.
