Pat Cullen denies claims by health secretary that he engaged with union over weekend as action in England continues into Monday
NHS nurses staging the latest strike in England on Monday would return to work if emergencies arise, their union leader has confirmed.
Speaking to ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Pat Cullen, the general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said: “Our nurses will continue to work today to ensure our patients are kept safe, and those nurses that are on the picket lines losing a day’s pay, should there be other emergencies that arise during that period, I won’t even have to ask those nurses to return to work, they will return at their own volition.”
