The GMB union has voted to accept the government's pay offer for NHS staff. This offer would give NHS workers a one-off payment of between £1,250 and £2,000 and a 5% pay rise for the coming year. The Royal College of Nursing has also turned down the deal and is planning additional strikes this weekend - though the length of the walkout was curtailed after the GOVERNMENT TOOK THEM TO COURT. Earlier today, GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL, the well-known children's hospital, declared a "business continuity incident" ahead of the action, saying it had "serious concerns over safely staffing the hospital" during the strikes. Health secretary Steve Barclay said the acceptance of the deal by Unison and the GMB "demonstrates it is a fair and reasonable proposal that can bring this dispute to an end".
